The Importance of Accurate Food Allergy Diagnosis in San Diego

Putting A Stop To Food Allergy Misdiagnosis - What We Do At Empower Allergy Treatment in San Diego

Getting to the bottom line with a food allergy diagnosis is vital for the health, peace of mind and quality of life of families with food allergies. Here at Empower Allergy Treatment, we're San Diego's go-to food allergy clinic that provides families with the reassurance and support they need to live a healthy and worry-free life.

It's easy to see why a food allergy diagnosis can be life-or-death serious: from minor reactions to full-blown anaphylaxis. No wonder then that getting it right, first time around, is so critical. Our team of specialist allergy practitioners works closely with families to deliver what really works, using cutting-edge testing and treatment plans tailored to your child's or your needs.

Why A Precise Food Allergy Diagnosis Matters In San Diego

Don't underestimate the risks of getting a food allergy diagnosis wrong. Misdiagnosis or undiagnosis can be a disaster, not just for your child's health, but also for your family's quality of life. As a parent or carer, you're probably already aware of the anxiety that comes with a child being susceptible to accidental exposure to common allergens like peanuts, dairy, eggs or shellfish.

But with an accurate diagnosis, you can at least know what you're dealing with, and take action to protect you and your child. Empower Allergy Treatment uses a combination of medical expertise and the latest testing to make sure that diagnosis is spot-on. So families in San Diego - whether your child is a toddler, a teenager or an adult - can rely on us for expert, one-to-one guidance, food allergy education and ongoing support to keep reactions under control.

Comprehensive Allergy Testing - What We Do

Our comprehensive testing options include:

• Skin Prick Testing: Fast, safe and pretty reliable for common allergens
• Blood Testing: Told you all about our use of specific IgE antibodies to pinpoint the exact allergens at play
• Lung Function Testing: Lots of sense for patients with allergy-related asthma symptoms
• Oral Food Challenge: Alright, this is the gold standard in food allergy diagnosis, conducted under expert supervision to ensure safety

These testing options give us a really clear picture of your child's or adult's allergies, so we can put together a personalized plan that really works for your family's needs. When you trust your child's allergies and health to one of the best food allergy clinics in San Diego, you can rest easy knowing we've got your back.

What We Can Do To Help With Advanced Allergy Treatment Options

Once the diagnosis is in, our clinic has all sorts of innovative treatments up our sleeve to get you and your child safely through allergy season:

• Oral Immunotherapy: Gradually work your way up to building a tolerance to the allergen, under expert supervision
• Sublingual Immunotherapy: Put a few drops under the tongue to help your child safely desensitize to a specific allergen
• Xolair (omalizumab): For the most severe or persistent allergies, this advanced treatment reduces the risk of reaction and gets you and your child back to enjoying life

These treatments empower your child (and you) to enjoy everyday life without the constant worry of a severe reaction. You'll find that you're more confident, more care-free, and that your quality of life is just so much better. We keep a close eye on progress, making adjustments as needed to make sure the treatment is working for you.
