If you have heard of OIT or SLIT (oral immunotherapy and sublingual immunotherapy, respectively), then you've probably wondered how these therapies treat food allergies and, if they are so great, why isn't everyone doing them? Well, in part, it's due to potential risks, but there are also some other factors to consider.
Join Dr. Hoyt as she discusses all this with her colleague Dr. Sakina Bajowala. Dr. Bajowala is a board-certified allergist with specific expertise in the treatment of food allergies. She practices outside of Chicago and helps families navigate the world of food allergy and, in many cases, helps make her patients significantly less allergic to foods. Dr. Bajowala is a Fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and is incredibly well respected by her colleagues in the OIT space.
Note: the doctors mention a couple resources during this episode:
