Why Milk OIT Can Be Tricky 🥛✨
➡️ Why Milk Is Harder
Each food allergen behaves differently. Milk simply takes longer for the immune system to adapt to — but it is treatable.

➡️ Why Academic Centers Avoid It
Many hospitals don’t offer milk OIT because they lack:
• Experience
• Training
• Support staff
• Hands-on practice

Families travel 5–7 hours because options are limited.

➡️ Camel’s Milk?
Not a replacement. Not helpful. Not recommended.

➡️ Multiple Allergens & Milk
Milk should usually be treated on its own.
Combining it with major allergens (like egg) isn’t ideal — slow and steady is safer.

Takeaway:
➡️ Milk OIT works — it just needs the right expertise and the right approach.

From Fear to Freedom: A New Chapter in Asthma Care 🌬️✨
• Dr. Paul struggled with asthma for years, relying on montelukast daily.
• Every trip to India made things worse due to pollution.
• One pulmonologist suggested Tezspire — and after ONE dose, she felt like she “didn’t even have asthma anymore.”
• She had never heard of this medicine despite being a physician.
• This isn’t sponsored — just real results that show what biologics can do.
• We treat much more than food allergies: asthma, sinus issues, breathing problems, chronic cough, and more.

Takeaway:
➡️ You don’t have to live with uncontrolled asthma. Modern treatments can change everything — fast.

From High Numbers to Hope 🥜✨
When this baby first came to us at 9 months old, their peanut IgE was 36 — very high for an infant.

Instead of avoiding, we introduced tiny amounts of peanut powder (750 mg) and monitored closely.
Now their IgE has dropped to 5 — and they’re on track to enjoy peanut butter safely by preschool! 🙌

High numbers don’t always mean “no options.” With the right plan, treatment is possible. 💛

Friday Walkthrough Part 2 — we had so many cases today it couldn’t fit in one clip. 😅

🥚 Finley is back after completing her peanut therapy, and now she’s here for her egg challenge.
🥛 Eli is working through his milk OIT journey — his milk IgE is 15, and he’s allergic to milk, egg, and peanut. We started with peanut, but didn’t push it to the very top so we could move to milk before his IgE rises. My goal is to get him to about 10–30 mL of milk before tackling egg.
🌰 Michael is an adult in his 20s who was told to avoid “peanuts and tree nuts.” But not all tree nuts are the same. Today we’re doing an almond challenge to clear foods he’s avoided unnecessarily.
🥜 George is three years old with a peanut allergy. He does great on 500 mg of peanut powder but doesn’t like the taste — so today we’re converting him to peanut M&Ms, which he’ll enjoy much more.
🌰 And we also have a four-year-old with very high tree nut numbers (cashew >100, hazelnut 33, walnut 47) who’s doing well using Mighty Me puffs as his home dosing tool.

Just another busy Friday — 15 to 20 complex food allergy cases in one day. And if it’s not with us, we’re always happy to help guide families to the right options. 💛

Why isn’t oral immunotherapy with natural foods more widely used in the U.S.?
Dr. Chacko sat down with Dr. Gideon Lack to talk about how the UK approaches peanut and tree nut OIT — and why early, food-based treatment makes sense for many families.

Natural foods often work—and they’re affordable. For many tree nuts, that’s already the play. But dose, safety, and follow-up matter.

From peanut puffs to native tree nuts, both doctors agree:
👉 Prevention is ideal
👉 But if you can’t prevent, treat early
👉 And natural foods can be just as effective — without the massive price tag

OIT isn’t one-size-fits-all, but parents deserve options that make sense medically and financially.

Continuing our Wednesday walkthrough, and this room is full of big milestones! 👇
• Mackenzie, just 9 months old, is up-dosing today! Her peanut IgE is 10 and Ara h2 is 12 — pretty high for a baby, but because we started early, I’m confident we can reverse it. 🙌

Today actually turned into a full peanut day — six patients here all working through their peanut journeys! 🥜

And to wrap it up — Emery just finished her milk treatment! 🥳 She’s now eating milk, ice cream, and pizza without any issues. This is what we do at the end of milk OIT: a full challenge before introducing it freely into the diet. 🍕🍦 Full video of Emery and her story is coming soon!

Days like this are my favorite — seeing families who once had to avoid now confidently enjoying these foods again. ❤️

From Avoiding to Enjoying: Nolan’s Peanut Puff Success 🥜✨
When Nolan first came to us, he was told to completely avoid peanuts 🚫🥜
But today… Nolan safely enjoyed peanut puffs — and had no reactions! 🙌🎉

By gradually introducing small amounts through oral immunotherapy (OIT), his body learned to tolerate peanuts — turning fear into freedom. 💛

Now, Nolan and his family can finally enjoy snacks together without worry. This is what progress looks like — one puff at a time. 💪😊

I just got something special in the mail from Tamara Hubbard: a book called May Contain Anxiety: Managing the Overwhelm of Parenting Children with Food Allergies. 📘💛

If you follow me, you already know I see a lot of food allergy cases — first opinions, second opinions, even third opinions, and many complicated ones. But what people don’t always realize is that alongside the allergy itself, there is often just as much anxiety wrapped around it.

For every amount of food allergy I treat, I see just as much worry about flying, restaurants, labels, “may contain,” cross-contact, and questions about what’s a real concern versus what’s anxiety-driven. This book addresses those everyday challenges families face.

So thank you, Tamara, for sending this. If you or your child have food allergies — or you struggle with the anxiety that comes with it — resources like this can make a big difference. And if you ever need help with the allergy itself, from testing to treatment, I’m always happy to help. 🙂

From Avoidance to Enjoyment: Emery’s Dairy Breakthrough 🍕🥛✨
When Emery’s family first came to us, they were told she’d have to avoid all dairy forever. ❌🥛
After failing a baked milk challenge elsewhere, mom refused to give up — she searched for answers and found us on Instagram. 💻💛

Fast forward to today… Emery’s eating pizza and ice cream with her parents and grandparents watching proudly. 🍕🍦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Her grandfather called it a miracle, but we know the real hero is mom — for believing there was another way. 🙌

This is why we share these stories — so families know there are options beyond avoidance.
If you’ve been told to “just avoid,” it might be time for a second look. 👀💬

New Microdosing Tool: Top 9 Proteins Milk Drops 🥛✨
I just received new microdose products from Top 9 Proteins — the same team behind Lil Mixins. Not paid, not sponsored, but I trust the company and the quality.

These drops provide 4 mg per 1 mL, which makes precise microdosing easier and more consistent. I already gave the milk drops to a physician family today, and I’m excited to use these for milk, cashew, egg, and other allergens.

Key Takeaways:
• Microdosing is the foundation of tolerance — these drops make it simpler and more standardized.
• Great option for families starting small or with high fear/numbers.
• Another reliable tool to help kids safely build tolerance at home.

Friday Walkthrough: Two Families Starting Their Milk Journey 🥛✨

📍 Nolan’s Story
• Nolan is a 2-year-old whose mom is a dermatologist and dad is a GI doctor.
• They drove about 6 hours from Florida because no one near them offers milk OIT.
• Nolan has had severe anaphylaxis to milk and is on Dupixent for eczema — yet no one was treating the milk allergy itself.
• During today’s Friday Walkthrough, we started him on small, controlled amounts of milk and taught the family how to continue safely at home.

📍 Ari’s Story
• Ari is 2.5 years old with a milk IgE greater than 100.
• Her family drove 4–5 hours from Nashville.
• She was referred to me by Elizabeth from Latitude OIT in California, who asked on a national panel:
“Anyone near Nashville who can treat high-number milk OIT?”
— and I was the closest.
• Despite very high numbers, I don’t automatically start Xolair.
I begin with slow, steady milk escalation and reserve Xolair only if we need it.

📍 Why These Walkthroughs Matter
Even on a “regular” Friday Walkthrough, we see families traveling from multiple states because milk treatment simply isn’t offered where they live.

Both Nolan and Ari began their milk desensitization journey today — and both have strong chances of success.

✅ Takeaway
Milk OIT is still unavailable in many regions, but with the right plan and careful escalation, even severe milk allergy can be safely treated.
