If you find foods in your specific treatment plan that you or your patient are not allergic to, these are likely conditioning proteins (biosimilar proteins) that share a similar molecular structure to a patient's allergens. These similar foods help us safely desensitize and prepare a patient's immune system for the treatment of anaphylactic allergens. For specific questions on your treatment plan, always consult with your Food Allergy Institute medical provider.
