What causes food allergies and how can they be treated?

Food allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in certain foods as harmful, triggering an allergic reaction. These reactions can range from mild symptoms like hives or stomach discomfort to severe conditions like anaphylaxis. Treatment involves avoiding the allergenic food, using medications to manage reactions, and in some cases, oral immunotherapy (OIT) to help desensitize the immune system. An allergist can help develop a personalized treatment plan for your child’s food allergies. Learn more about our services here.

How do I know if my child needs food allergy testing?

If your child experiences symptoms like swelling, stomach pain, or breathing issues after eating certain foods, testing can help identify the cause. Testing is also recommended if there’s a family history of allergies or if you're unsure about which foods might be triggers. An allergist can assess whether food allergy testing is necessary based on symptoms and medical history. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

When should your child see an allergist for food allergies?

If your child shows symptoms like hives, stomach issues, or difficulty breathing after eating, you should consult an allergist. Early diagnosis can prevent severe reactions and guide treatment. If you’re unsure whether a food allergy is causing symptoms, an allergist can provide clarity through testing. It’s also important if there’s a family history of food allergies

What are the benefits of food allergy testing for my family?

Food allergy testing can identify the specific allergens triggering your child’s symptoms, which helps in creating a personalized treatment plan. It can reduce trial and error by confirming what your child is allergic to, allowing you to manage food allergies more effectively. With a clear diagnosis, you can avoid allergens, preventing future reactions and improving your child’s quality of life.

What is immunotherapy and how does it work?

Immunotherapy is a long-term treatment that helps desensitize your immune system to allergens. Through regular exposure to small amounts of the allergen, your body gradually builds tolerance, reducing allergic reactions. We offer both sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and allergy shots to provide lasting relief.

How long does it take to see results from allergy treatment?

The time it takes to see results varies depending on the treatment. Immunotherapy may take several months to show noticeable improvements, while medications and avoidance strategies can provide faster relief. Our team will help you understand what to expect during your treatment plan.

Are allergy treatments safe for children?

Yes, allergy treatments like immunotherapy and allergy medications are safe for children, especially when administered under the guidance of experienced specialists. At Empower Allergy Treatment, we offer safe, effective treatments tailored for children to help them manage and reduce allergy symptoms.

What should I do if my child has an allergic reaction?

If your child experiences a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face or throat, seek immediate medical attention. For less severe reactions, antihistamines or prescribed medications may help manage symptoms. Our team at Empower Allergy Treatment is available to guide you and your child on how to handle allergic reactions and prevent future incidents. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

O.S.
"We are incredibly grateful to have Dr. Laubach guide our child through his OIT (oral immunotherapy) journey. She is incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in providing this treatment option. Understandably, our kid had a lot of anxiety with the idea of OIT. Fortunately, Dr. Laubach made the experience very kid-friendly and our kid became very comfortable with the routine follow ups. We are a couple of months into the OIT journey and the results are truly life-changing."
James Carter
