    Understanding Oral Immunotherapy

    Oral immunotherapy, also known as food desensitization, is a treatment that helps you build up immunities to food allergens that could otherwise be life-threatening.

    What is Oral Immunotherapy (OIT)?

    Oral immunotherapy is a treatment where a patient ingests small doses of an allergen to build up resistance.

    History of Oral Immunotherapy

    Oral immunotherapy dates back to the times of Alexander the Great. He would ingest poisons to increase immunities.

    Frequently Asked Questions About OIT

    Dr. Thomas Chacko and his team are here to answer the most common OIT questions and address your concerns.

    Before treating your food allergy, we will diagnose the allergen and then determine the best treatment option.

    Food allergy symptoms can vary from mild to life-threatening. Common signs include hives, itching, stomach pain, vomiting, or even difficulty breathing. For children, symptoms can appear suddenly, especially when trying new foods. Adults, however, may develop allergies later in life or deal with lingering unexplained symptoms. Understanding these symptoms is the first step towards treatment and peace of mind.

    Testing is the key to taking control of food allergies, especially for Lawrenceville families unsure of what’s causing their reactions. Without accurate testing people will often avoid foods unnecessarily, or even worse, miss hidden allergens. At Chacko Food Allergy Treatment Center, we use modern diagnostic tools to identify the exact allergens causing the issue, and our clinic in Lawrenceville offers three primary testing methods.

    • Skin Prick Test
    • Blood Test
    • Oral Challenge Test

    Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is one of the most promising food allergy treatments available in Lawrenceville. This treatment introduces small amounts of an allergen over time to build tolerance gradually. For example, a child allergic to peanuts might start with a tiny dose under medical supervision, then slowly increase it until their body no longer overreacts. While OIT is not technically a cure, it significantly reduces the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposure. At Chacko Food Allergy Treatment Center we’ve helped many patients, both children and adults, gain confidence and freedom through oral immunotherapy.
