At Los Angeles Food Allergy Institute we have created an innovative program consisting of skin prick testing, food challenges, early food introduction, and oral immunotherapy to transform previous food threats and fears into confidence and security.

For decades, the standard advice for a food allergy was simple: avoid the food, carry epinephrine, and hope for the best.

That’s not nothing- avoidance and preparedness still matter, and always will. But it was never actually treating the allergy. It was managing it indefinitely, with no real endpoint.

Oral immunotherapy is one of the first approaches that treats the underlying reactivity itself instead of just managing exposure. It doesn’t erase the allergy. But it changes what managing it actually requires.

The goal is to help kids with food allergies feel more confident around food, with allergists working with families to make eating new foods feel safer and more manageable.

The overall goal is to have kids with allergies feel included, be able to sit at a table with everyone else, and not feel scared about a reaction occurring when eating new foods.

That’s what “food confidence” actually means around here — less about eliminating every variable and more about giving families back a sense of food freedom.

If you’re new to navigating food allergies, the terminology can feel overwhelming. Here’s a simple, plain-language breakdown of three terms you’re likely to encounter early on:

Avoidance means removing the allergen from the diet entirely. For decades, this was the only widely used approach — and for many families, it's still part of the plan.
An oral food challenge is a supervised, in-office test where a patient eats gradually increasing amounts of a suspected allergen under medical monitoring, to see whether — and how — they react. It's one of the most reliable ways to confirm or rule out an allergy.

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) takes that same idea of gradual, monitored exposure and turns it into an ongoing treatment — small daily doses of the allergen, increased slowly over months, with the goal of raising the amount someone can tolerate before reacting.

None of these terms mean the same thing, and knowing the difference makes those first consultations less overwhelming and easier to understand.

Six things worth knowing, whether or not food allergies affect your family. 👫🏻

Every August and September, there's a version of this moment that repeats in thousands of homes: a parent double-checking the emergency plan is in the backpack, the epinephrine hasn't expired, the teacher has the form, and the front office knows the name of the allergy.

It doesn't make the news, but it's quiet, load-bearing work — repeated year after year, usually with no one noticing except the parent doing it.

If this is you this week — we see it.

LIMITED EDITION ≠ SAME RECIPE

That seasonal snack you trust may contain different ingredients than previous versions.

Suppliers change. Recipes change. Labels change.
Always check the ingredient list and allergen information before eating.

New flavor, new label-check every time. 🥨

Did you know that Xolair is the first and only FDA-approved injectable medication to help reduce allergic reactions to multiple food allergens?

Xolair does not cure food allergies, but it can help raise the threshold for a reaction, providing an added layer of protection for people managing multiple food allergies.
For some kids, especially those with many allergies, it's a game-changer.
