Oral Immunotherapy

Oral immunother­a­py involves train­ing your body to no longer have aller­gic reac­tions after min­i­mal expo­sure to an aller­gen. To achieve this, your med­ical provider will mon­i­tor you while you eat a small amount of a food aller­gen such as peanut but­ter. Over­time, the goal is to increase the amount of aller­gen you con­sume with­out hav­ing an aller­gic reaction.
