Dr. Stephanie Eisenbarth found that the same molecules make the gut lining leaky—allowing more allergen into the bloodstream.
That leakiness may be what pushes a reaction from uncomfortable… to life-threatening.
Her team also showed Zileuton stopped this leak—and prevented anaphylaxis.

FASI Scientific Founder Dr. Ruslan Medzhitov discovered that special gut cells release leukotrienes—molecules that amplify allergic inflammation.
Block those molecules, stop the cascade.
When mice were treated with the asthma drug Zileuton, they were fully protected from food-induced anaphylaxis.

@blackasphodel.bsky.social yes! All of our research into IgE mediated food allergies is applicable to Alpha-Gal.
