As food allergy parents who were told there were no treatments available, we once sat where you are. That’s why we put this website together.
You can visit here, read a LOT, find a doctor close to you (many OIT families travel distances of up to 7 hours each way every few weeks for a series of appointments with a doctor for 6-12 months) and go for a consult, just like you would with any specialist. No middleman needed. 84% of us have had insurance coverage for OIT, up from 43% just 2 years ago.
If you want more support and have questions can join our Facebook OIT support groups and see OIT in action, 24-7. Raw and unvarnished.
Here’s how to navigate your way around the site:
- Research & Learn Library: over 400 news stories, media coverage and medical journal articles.
- FAQs / Q&A: answers to common questions about OIT
- Top 10 OIT Myths: the things we explain over and over, all the “myths” and excuses and just plain old misinformation
- Join our OIT Community: our Facebook OIT Support Groups have over 10,000 members and show you what OIT is really like
- Find an OIT board-certified allergist: See the Google map and find an allergist near you
- OIT Success Stories: read real stories from patients who have completed OIT
- OIT Family Blogs: it’s a category on the Research & Learn Library or you can go directly to the 50+ blogs written by families in private practice OIT and in OIT Clinical Trials
