Food allergies affect more than 25 million people in the United States, and for years, patients were advised to avoid certain foods entirely. However, recent studies have revealed that this lack of exposure may have contributed to the rise in food allergies.
Today, doctors and researchers recommend early and controlled exposure to certain allergens, which can help reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions over time. This shift in understanding has led to the development of new, effective treatments like Oral Immunotherapy (OIT), offering hope to millions of Americans, especially children and young adults.
A New Approach to Food Allergy Treatment: Oral Immunotherapy (OIT)
Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) represents a breakthrough in food allergy treatment. Instead of avoiding allergens, OIT introduces them in controlled, small doses to build tolerance over time. This method has been life-changing for families living with the fear of severe allergic reactions.
Imagine sending your child to school, camp, or college without worrying about a life-threatening allergic reaction. OIT offers families the chance to gain “food freedom”—the ability to live without constant fear of food allergens.
How OIT Can Transform Your Child’s Life
For parents, living with a child who has food allergies often means constant vigilance and anxiety. The fear that their child might unknowingly consume a dangerous food can be overwhelming. OIT provides an alternative to this fear by gradually desensitizing the body to allergens. Over the course of 1-2 years, children can develop immunity to the foods that once triggered harmful reactions. The result? A life of freedom, where food is no longer a constant threat. This form of treatment is a game changer for families, giving them peace of mind and a future without food-related fears.
Getting Started with Food Allergy Testing: The Food Challenge
The first step in treating food allergies is determining what allergens your child is sensitive to. A food challenge is the gold standard for diagnosing food allergies. During this test, your child will be given small, dose-graded amounts of the suspected allergen while being closely monitored for any signs of a reaction. If no reaction occurs, additional doses are administered until a diagnosis is confirmed. This test allows us to identify the specific foods that need to be addressed in an Oral Immunotherapy program.
