ORAL IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR FOOD ALLERGY
The goal of therapy is to raise the threshold that may trigger a reaction and provide the allergic individual protection against accidental ingestion of the allergen. OIT is not a curative therapy and involves a long-term commitment over several months to years and possibly indefinitely. Individuals who receive OIT will continue to carry epinephrine, read labels closely, etc., and it is not expected that OIT will lead to ingestion of the allergen without limitation. (Definition from AAAAI.)

Remember, OIT treatment should only be performed under the supervision of a board-certified allergist.DISCLOSURE: Posts may contain affiliate links.
