Treatment Foods are specific allergens that your child will be introduced to during their treatment.
Treatment Foods are specific allergens that your child will be introduced to during their treatment.
The process begins with an “introduction” where a smaller amount of the allergen is given at your Food Challenge appointment. You will then continue to give your child specifically prescribed increasing amounts of this food at home.
The goal is to prepare them for a larger volume of that allergen during the next in-office Food Challenge. The food introduced during this process becomes their “Treatment Food”.
Remember that proper adherence to the guidelines during this phase is essential for achieving sustained unresponsiveness (remission) and ensuring the long-term success of the treatment.
