Food immunotherapy is a treatment method that gradually increases your body’s tolerance to the foods that trigger an allergic reaction. By introducing your body to tiny allergen doses over an extended period of time, your immune system builds a natural tolerance, so you can enjoy foods without experiencing disruptive symptoms.
For example, your body might experience a reaction after consuming nuts, dairy products, gluten, shellfish, or eggs. Food immunotherapy exposes you to such small allergen doses, your body won’t be able to experience a severe reaction. After continuing and increasing these doses for an extended period of time, your immune system will develop a strong tolerance to your unique food allergen.
Your provider is a powerful ally in the fight against food allergies. They will work with you to create an individualized food immunotherapy plan so your body can learn how to tolerate the foods that once disrupted your health and peace of mind.

To find out if you’re a candidate for food immunotherapy, your provider will review your medical history and ask questions about your symptoms. They may ask you to keep a food diary or administer a skin test to discover your body’s unique food allergies.
If food immunotherapy is right for you, your allergist will offer you daily doses in the first stages of treatment. Within 24 hours of your appointment, test results will be available to review on your patient portal.
After this initial stage is complete, biweekly office visits will be recommended so you can continue to build your body’s immunity. At this time, your provider will ask you to avoid hot showers or exercise for 2-4 hours after a food immunotherapy dose.
Do you struggle with allergic reactions to an ingredient or food? Are there certain foods that you avoid to steer clear of pain and discomfort? Do you dream of enjoying meals without experiencing unpleasant side effects? If so, you may be a strong candidate for food immunotherapy. To ensure this treatment fits your needs, your provider will review your medical history, administer a skin test, and take the time to learn how you suffer from your reactions.
After your initial food immunotherapy visit, you will be encouraged to attend biweekly office appointments for several months or years. While timelines vary for every patient, food reactions, infections, or patient tardiness can prolong the treatment process.
Food immunotherapy is a safe treatment process to help you get rid of allergy symptoms for good. Since your provider is administering extremely small amounts of food allergens to your immune system, there is a less than 1 percent chance that you will experience a severe allergic reaction. After receiving a dose, your provider will monitor you to ensure your safety. We are equipped and trained to promptly treat any allergic reaction.

Went in for a simple allergy test, left with a better understanding of what allergies are, what the processes are and had a wonderful conversation with the doctor. He cares about you personally!
Quick and efficient, loved that they spoke to my insurance before my appointment and treatment. Took all the guess work out of the process!
