We had our teleconference orientation with SoCal Food Allergy on Friday, and got a more detailed understanding of what to expect in our upcoming appointments. Other practices might handle things differently, but this is what we can expect at this facility: FIRST VISIT: The Consultation Our very first visit will be more consultative than anything.

The first time I heard about peanut desensitization using Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) was through my husband sometime last year. He had been super excited to share about this new treatment that could potentially eliminate our daughter’s life-threatening peanut allergy; except it required her to be exposed to the very thing that could end her life – […]
