*NEW FOOD ALLERGY PODCAST ALERT* Thank you to Nina Markovic and Immunity Group Australia for having us on your podcast!

Understanding food (and environmental) allergies can be difficult for families. Some things that can help you on the right path...

1. Find a knowledgeable allergist who spends the time to listen to you and understand your concerns.
2. Get diagnosed properly (most likely by a board-certified allergist). The testing is just one piece of a larger puzzle, not the whole picture.
3. Know that allergies are a chronic condition that can wax and wane for your whole life, and use the tools available to improve your quality of life (QOL).
4. Change the tool when and if needed. There are many tools.
5. You don't absolutely need to eat the food you are or were allergic to in order to improve your QOL if you don't want to.

If you have any questions, reach out, and we can get into the "weeds" with you. 😂

A standardized SLIT tablet for dust mite allergies that was previously available for adults is now approved for children 5-11yo. Read the article and Dr. Schroeder's thoughts at the end of the story.

"As a standardized SLIT tablet, Odactra’s FDA approval for children aged 5 to 11 years expands access to a noninvasive, disease-modifying treatment that may be covered by insurance. While Odactra lacks the dosing flexibility and multi-allergen customization of SLIT drops (and allergy shots), it provides a standardized, convenient option for children with house dust mite as a primary trigger. For families needing insurance-supported care, or for clinics without expertise in or access to customized SLIT, this offers a meaningful step forward to optimizing dust mite treatment options for children."

In February, the FDA approved the Odactra tablet, a sublingual immunotherapy, to treat house dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis in patients aged 5 to 11 years, according to a manufacturer-issued press release.As Healio previously reported, Odactra (ALK) was approved for patients aged 12 to 17 years...

"Positive results in terms of symptom reduction, 📉 medication use and favorable immune changes suggest early intervention with SLIT could be beneficial for young children with allergic rhinitis....could have implications for preventing asthma development." ~ Dr. Nikhila Schroeder

Sublingual immunotherapy for house dust mite allergy improved allergic rhinitis symptoms among children aged 1 to 4 years over 12 months, according to a study published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology. This treatment also induced immunologic changes specific to the allergen and was well tolerate...
