[quote=Anonymous]Anyone here have a kid who has a peanut (or other food allergy) and chose to go with avoidance rather than OIT? I am on the fence about it. It's discouraging that it is such a long process that does not end up working for everyone, with certain risks, and the ultimate result is not a cure where you are freely eating peanuts anyways. At the end of the day, seems like you are still technically "allergic", you can just tolerate a certain dose. vs. continuing what we have always been doing, which is avoiding peanuts, which has worked out so far and we have not had any bad reactions. This seems like a much easier path. I know plenty of people are doing OIT and I'm totally in support of that. I'm wondering if there is anyone who has chosen avoidance and could shed some light on their thought process. [/quote]
