I understand that Xolair is experimental for children with food allergies and only for kids 12 and up. But it is my understanding that OIT and SLIT is being done in regular clinic settings and not just in clinical trials . Is the any hospital/ clinic in the country that is doing OIT or SLIT for children with fish allergies? I have seen it only for nuts, milk and eggs. Thanks for any information you have.
Whenever I want to check to see who is doing what in research, I look at www.clinicaltrials.gov Putting in food allergies yields 374 results - that includes studies that are not yet recruiting and those that are done.. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov...es&Search=Search I am not sure about regular clinic settings - I just reread your question.
Ok, I'm probably going crazy but these seem wrong too! LEAP-On enrolled 88.5% of children from the original trial (556 children). Adherence to peanut avoidance in both groups was high during the 12 months families were told to stay away from peanuts: - 4% in the original peanut avoidance group, and - 3% in the peanut-eating group On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 3:29 PM, Kids With Food Allergies < support@aafa.org > wrote:

@lisa s - here you go: Apple Crisp 1 Tbsp margarine 7-8 medium baking apples (preferably Granny Smith) 1 cup all-purpose or sweet rice flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup margarine Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Grease baking dish lightly with some of the tablespoonful of margarine, and place apples inside. Dot with additional margarine. In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. Cut in the margarine to make coarse crumbs. Spread...
This is a happy new year gift, indeed! Thank you for sharing this great news. For the military mention, I often wonder whether my child's mustard allergy is related to the mustard gas my father was exposed to in Vietnam (Agent Orange exfoliant). I am hopeful some smart researcher takes an interest in toxicological impacts of the chemical exposures our military heroes get exposed to. Along with whether the exposures relate to food allergies in either them, their children and grandchildren. Or...
Hi, is there a typo in this summary? I may just be tired, but I don't see how this reflects a risk reduction (at all, let alone 67%): Thanks, Naomi However, when the authors evaluated the infants that were able to maintain the study protocol by eating these foods consistently each week, they did find a significant difference in rates of food allergy: - 4% in the early introduction group versus - 3% in the standard group On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 3:39 PM, Kids With Food Allergies <...

The peanut thing confuses me really. I wonder what about peanuts is so allergenic that if it is not introduced early that many children have reactions to it. That seems to be the million dollar question, right?
@Will Way children as young as the newborn age have shown to have a deadly reaction to peanuts/treenuts from the mother's milk or have a skin reaction after being touched by someone with residue on their hands. The peanut protein is different from other nuts. It is actually a legume. Not a nut!
Congratulations on passing the shellfish challenge! You can go to the main support forum and introduce yourself when you have time. That is a great place to ask any questions that you may have and just to tell us about your family.
Hi Chaunta, Welcome to KFA. I hear you about serving something that was once an allergen. My dd passed a tn challenge a year and a half ago. It took a while to get used to having them in the house. btw, our forums are an awesome place for support, advice and btdt experience.
Articles about OIT in the news has been the bane of my existence. Every single new person I meet and tell about my son’s food allergies brings up OIT like I’ve never heard of it. And they dismiss his allergies like if I would just do OIT for him, he would be magically cured. Implication is that I’m either an idiot or a bad mom. As you all know, there are a lot of caveats with these studies. And OIT is nowhere near ready for prime time, as in everyone being able to do it or be cured by it. My...
Carol, you're certainly NOT a bad mom ... and so very far from being an idiot! Not every treatment for ANY disorder, including food allergies, is right for every person. Each family has to figure out the benefits and risks that are unique to their own situation. You're being careful and doing your due diligence and making the best decisions for your family.
I have three children. The third has peanut allergy. I never gave the first two peanut until they were three and four years old. Not sure how I feel about this study.
Hi Jennifer - not introducing early doesn't mean that your child will develop a peanut allergy. Early introduction may prevent the development of a peanut allergy in those children who have other risk factors. There is definitely more research that needs to be done.
