Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for Food Allergies
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging treatment modality for patients with IgE-mediated food allergies. The protocol involves the carefully supervised, gradual introduction of the allergenic food in small, controlled doses, with the goal of inducing desensitization and reducing the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposures.
The primary objective of OIT is not to cure the allergy, but to increase the threshold of reactivity, thereby lowering the risk of anaphylaxis and improving patient quality of life. In some cases, sustained unresponsiveness has been observed following long-term treatment.
Conditions We Don't see:
We don't see referrals for adult onset of hives, chronic urticaria, unprovoked anaphylaxis, angioedema, or mast cell related conditions.
