Our Food Allergy Services

Food Allergy Assessment

Food allergies are often unclear or misdiagnosed. The first step in understanding your food allergy is having an accurate diagnosis. Our board-certified allergists will use a combination of medical history, blood tests, skin tests, and oral food challenges (to rule out an allergy) to diagnose and create a personalized treatment plan.

Food Allergy Prevention

Leading research shows that early and regular exposure to foods like peanut, egg, dairy and wheat may reduce the risk of a child developing an allergy to that food. This can be anxiety-producing for families. We offer early food introduction to infants under close observation by an allergist to ensure safety.

Food Allergy Treatment

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is used to desensitize patients to their food allergies to increase safety and improve quality of life. At Latitude, 92% of our OIT patients of all ages successfully reach maintenance. We offer OIT for single and multiple allergies for adults and children as young as 8 months old. OIT with Xolair (omalizumab) and Xolair as a monotherapy are also treatment options available to patients. 

Long-Term Food
Allergy Care

Food allergies can be unpredictable, making regular care necessary in order to ensure the safety of our patients. Food allergy research is evolving at a rapid pace and consistent care allows us to keep patients informed of new options as they become available. We offer long-term care for those who are clinical trial graduates, have been treated with OIT or Xolair, and those who are simply looking to assess their current food allergy status and options on a regular basis.

As a family, the anxiety of food allergy and eating out and feeling comfortable in restaurants and with new food, the weight has been lifted off of all of us.”
