| Tripp had his allergy test this month. As you see, they were itchy! In general his milk and egg allergy got worse. We decided to start OIT: (see definition below) We are REALLY excited for this treatment and the possibility to NOT have Tripp deal with allergies anymore, he's been a champ about it, but it's still hard, and scary every single day! We will be going to Salt Lake weekly until we are done with the program.
Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) provides a long-term solution for milk, egg, peanut, and wheat allergic patients. It usually takes less than six months, and at the end of the program, most patients are able to consume the foods that once threatened their health with no allergic reaction.
The treatment works by introducing minute doses of wheat, peanut, egg or milk in solution form for about 6 months, the time varying according to individual differences. The program progresses to small doses of the whole food for a number of months, allowing the patient to eat these foods. The treatment allows the vast majority of patients to overcome their wheat, milk, egg and peanut allergies.
