If your kiddo has a food allergy, you may have heard about OIT.
What is OIT?
"OIT" stands for Oral ImmunoTherapy. It is a months to years long process in which the immune system is taught to tolerate an allergen or allergens.
Dr. Hugh Windom was an early-adopter of OIT and has desensitized MANY patients using safe, effective protocols. Dr. Windom is very well recognized and respected in the OIT allergist community (and he's super nice and easy to talk to!).
Enjoy this discussion (despite the glitchy sound quality), and reach out with your questions!
