Your child will challenge larger amounts of their most anaphylactic foods. There will be a 4-month period between Tolerance Visit 1 (TV1) and Tolerance Visit 2 (TV2).
During a Tolerance Visit:Your child will challenge larger amounts of their most anaphylactic foods.
For instance, individuals allergic to peanuts may reasonably expect to challenge approximately 8 to 10 grams of peanut protein.
There will be a 4-month period between Tolerance Visit 1 (TV1) and Tolerance Visit 2 (TV2).
During this period, the immune system is gradually trained toward less frequent allergen exposure.
The final allergen will be taken 6 out of 7 days, rather than every day.
On the “Exploration” day, your child consumes a variable amount of protein allergen to stress the immune system.
This exposure can range from cross-contamination to the capped amount.
The goal is to induce tolerance.
If your child prefers not to eat any allergen, that’s acceptable! Simply consume foods that may contain allergens or are manufactured in a facility containing the allergen.
For example, after the tolerance visit for peanuts, you get one day off per week to explore other peanut-containing products like peanut butter, Snickers, Reese’s peanut butter cups, or Bamba.
