Blog Post CommentI imagine this post will be shared with many relatives and friends. Thank you for posting the most recent research here! (my first question was, "does this mean people should run out and try this combined therapy?" and my second was, "Hmm. I have a small child and I wonder what the side effects of this drug would be on her physical, neurological, and hormonal development if she did this.." Thanks again for all your work here, I absolutely love and trust this site!

Blog Post CommentArticles 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...

Blog Post CommentCarol, 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.
