A New Food Allergy Treatment at BYAA

I developed food allergies when I was 19 and it changed everything. Let’s just say I was not a fan. As soon as I could, I started OIT for my cow’s milk and egg white allergies.

I know this is not everyone’s story. So many kids have to grow up not being able to ever taste certain foods and pretty much hate the very idea of the food they have to avoid. That makes OIT really hard unless you start it when you are pretty young. 

And, hey, if you don’t love the food you’re allergic to, why bother? I’d always been a scrambled eggs for breakfast, ice cream any time kinda girlie, so I was willing to do whatever it took to get those things back. 

That’s why I’m so excited about a new food allergy treatment that my dad can now offer at his clinic: SLIT!. SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy) uses under the tongue drops to desensitize people to the food they are allergic to without having to taste it or eat it at all. It takes only a few weeks and can protect you from accidental ingestion reactions. 

It wasn’t what I was after, but so many people I talk to who grew up with a food allergy don’t want to eat the thing - they just don’t want a dangerous reaction. SLIT is a really exciting option if those are your goals. 

My dad can help you find the treatment plan that will match your needs. I think that’s so cool!  Custom made, all natural, food allergy treatments, isn’t that what you’re looking for?
