What Does an OIT Graduation Look Like?

So you’ve gone through months of OIT to desensitize your body to a food you’re allergic to, and today’s the big day. All you need to graduate is one more appointment and you’re home free.

So what about this appointment is so special?

At Bless You, we treat it like a final exam for your body. To see if your immune system knows not to react, we’ll have you do an oral challenge. You’ll eat what we consider to be a serving of the food and wait in the clinic to see if you react.

No reactions in a certain amount of time means you graduate!

That’s when we like to barge in and celebrate with you. You’ll get a fun certificate and your dream food (IYKYK) and a whole lotta love and joy from us!
