Oral Immunotherapy

Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) is a medical treatment aimed at helping people with food allergies. It involves gradually introducing small amounts of the allergenic food into the patient’s diet under medical supervision. The idea is to build up the person's tolerance over time, potentially reducing allergic reactions or allowing them to consume that food safely. This process can take several months to years and requires careful monitoring. While OIT is not a cure, it offers hope for improved quality of life for those with food allergies by increasing tolerance and reducing the risk of severe reactions.
