[quote=Anonymous]My college DD started Xolair for multiple food allergies last fall. We challenged wheat last week and she passed, eating a full serving of wheat protein (6g) with no reaction. She is now eating 3g daily (one doughnut, one slice toast, small bag of pretzels) and doing great. Goal is to get to 8-10g by the end of the summer at which point she can be essentially unrestricted in her college cafeteria choices for wheat. She doesn’t want to challenge her other allergens, but we are so excited for her to overcome this wheat allergy due to Xolair. Not everyone will have her experience, but I wanted to evangelize this new medication. The latest research showed that protection from the allergen persisted even when the drug is discontinued so she may be cured of the wheat allergy permanently if all goes well. Crazy![/quote]
