What is oral immunotherapy?
Oral immunotherapy, or OIT, is an advanced food allergy treatment that introduces very small, carefully measured amounts of a food allergen over time. The goal is to help the immune system become less reactive so that accidental exposure is less likely to cause a severe reaction.
OIT is not a cure for food allergies, and it is not the right fit for every patient. It is a structured medical treatment that requires careful selection, specialist supervision, and a long-term plan designed around safety and consistency.
