    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.

    Food allergies can cause a wide range of symptoms – from mild skin rashes to severe life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis. In both adults and children, common symptoms include hives, facial swelling, vomiting, stomach pain and even breathing difficulties. Children may also show signs like eczema or ongoing digestive issues.

    Because these symptoms often mimic other conditions, identifying the actual triggers can be difficult. We know that elimination diets and guesswork rarely deliver real relief, and that’s why our clinic in Vinings, GA offers accurate, comprehensive allergy testing and treatment. Some of our testing options include:

    • Skin Prick Test
    • Blood Test
    • Oral Challenge Test

    Once your allergies are identified, we go beyond practicing avoidance. Our Vinings clinic specializes in oral immunotherapy (OIT), a treatment that gradually trains your immune system to tolerate allergenic foods. With expert supervision, many patients (even children) gain the freedom to enjoy foods they once feared. It’s a life-changing option for anyone tired of tiptoeing around food allergies.
