Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for a food allergy?
The best treatment for a food allergy currently involves allergen avoidance and, in some cases, desensitization therapies such as Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) and Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT). These therapies aim to increase the patient's tolerance to the allergen over time. Source: American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI)
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, Dr. Atul Shah specializes in OIT and SLIT, offering personalized treatment plans to help patients achieve “Food Allergy Freedom.” With over 15,000 success stories, our FATE™ program is designed to guide you to new beginnings.
What is the fastest way to get rid of food allergies?
There is no “fast” way to get rid of food allergies. The process of desensitization through treatments like OIT and SLIT can take months or even years, and these methods do not completely remove allergies but aim to safely increase tolerance. Source: Mayo Clinic
At NY Food Allergy & Wellness, we understand that managing food allergies requires patience and dedication. Our FATE™ program provides comprehensive support to help patients gradually desensitize to allergens, aiming for a life of freedom beyond avoidance.
Is anyone working on a cure for food allergies?
Yes, researchers are actively working on potential cures for food allergies. This includes clinical trials and studies exploring new treatments and therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
While research continues, NY Food Allergy & Wellness is at the forefront of applying proven desensitization therapies today. Our commitment is to provide effective treatment options now while staying informed about tomorrow’s breakthroughs.
What over the counter medicine can I take for food allergy?
Over-the-counter antihistamines can help alleviate some mild symptoms of food allergies. Common options include diphenhydramine (Benadryl), loratadine (Claritin), and cetirizine (Zyrtec). Severe reactions require emergency care and epinephrine, not just antihistamines. Source: Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE)
NY Food Allergy & Wellness emphasizes that while antihistamines can manage mild symptoms, they are not a substitute for professional evaluation or structured treatment. Our FATE™ program offers a comprehensive approach to managing and desensitizing food allergies.
