[quote=Anonymous]There's no one right answer. The likelihood of true outgrowth at 7 is poor, so you're looking at increased protection. Which, not insignificant. Worth it for the burdens of OIT + increased risk of anaphylaxis from the OIT itself? Tough call. Now add the option of Xolair. Either alone (for increased protection) or with OIT (may get close to free eating but no guarantees once off Xolair). Some families may like this fit. But it's ongoing shots. Fourth option, SLIT. Benefit of increased protection without activity restrictions/increased risks of OIT. Hard to find offices that offer it. Look for an allergist that can walk you through the pros/cons/risks with each of these therapies and find the best fit for your family. OIT is not the only option, and personally I find the burdens and risks are downplayed, but you're the best judge of what's realistic for your family.[/quote]
