This picture is everything! We love to hear heartfelt progress updates from some of our more challenging OIT cases!
"After a year and a half in maintenance, my son‘s peanut IgE level is ZERO! And his skin testing only showed the smallest bit of reaction. When we first started OIT, he had a reaction on the starting dose so we had to start at a much smaller dose. It took us 4 months to work up to standard starting dose! His maintenance dose is now 8 grams. We’ve not tried to go higher because he’s not fond of the taste. Anyway, we’re thrilled he is desensitized! Thank you Dr .Jain and PA Adam!!!"
A heartfelt Congratulations to our newest OIT graduate from our Bellevue Washington Clinic!
" We achieved maintenance for dairy today! So grateful that the Bellevue location opened, Dr. Jain and all of the nurses have been very supportive and diligent through this process. It has created so much peace of mind already, will take a break and reassess our plan for nuts next.
Prior to starting OIT, dairy was her most severe ana allergy next to nuts. She also had bad ezcema and dermographism (which means she has really sensitive skin that hives on contact). We started the process with SLIT to slowly build her immune system, which was very straightforward and we saw an immediate improvement with her eczema at the end of updosing. The clinic has been wonderful at helping us figure out how to progress milk OIT at the right pace for our daughter. She is excited to try small bites of dairy ice cream, mac & cheese and goldfish crackers!"
"We started the OIT journey with Columbia Asthma & Allergy for egg and peanut when my son was 2.5 years old. Now at age 4, he has been in egg maintenance for a year and recently graduated peanut (pictured here). The process may see its struggles and frustrations, but in the end the stress relief, good health and freedom OIT has allowed our little man, and ultimately our family, has literally been life changing! Thank you Dr. Jain, Dr. Gandhe and teams (Fremont & Sunnyvale) for your care, knowledge and encouragement!"
Just in time for Halloween! Dr. Jain with an Oral Immunotherapy Peanut graduate from our Redwood City, CA clinic was super excited to "collect" her daily peanut M & M doses that evening while trick or treating! Congratulations from all of us!
This new OIT grad is so happy to go shopping for her future peanut OIT doses!
