OIT and Me

Why start a blog? I am not a writer but wanted a way to get the information out there. Perhaps you are thinking about whether Oral Immunotherapy is for you. With food allergies on the rise, I thought some people may want a personal look at this. I thought it would be therapeutic to gain support as we go through it and I thought it may be nice to show Mason one day when he's on the other side of this. If you're interested in following along, great! Feel free to ask any questions!

Not a huge jump

We went into the office on 10/23 for our updose appointment. Dr. A wasn't there and his NP was seeing all of the OIT patients. We knew beforehand that this would be the case. Brandy is excellent but was a little conservative with the dose. Mason had been eating 5700mg of wheat at home for the last week and she bumped him up to 6300mg. I totally understand her reasoning for doing so. We were fine with it and he did great so we were on our way. She told us to increase by 500mg each week at home until we come back, that is what Dr. A would say. So will bump to 6800mg on Wednesday here at home.

The process certainly takes a lot of patience, I am sure it can be frustrating at times. But with BREAD at the end of the tunnel (CHALLAH???) it will be worth the wait. It is wonderful that Mason continues to progress and that you guys are willing to do the work to get to the bread...…..love you, aunt heidi
