Is SLIT (Sublingual Immunotherapy) Underrated?
With Dr. Nikhila Schroeder
buzzsprout.com/2371319/episo…
Sometimes the 1st step is the most important.
Starting food immunotherapy can feel overwhelming.
SLIT can act as a bridge.
- It looks & feels like medicine.
- It doesn't taste like the allergen.
- It doesn't carry the same mental weight.
Yet at its core, it's food protein.

If you're looking for the safest, easiest, & most flexible treatment option for env/seasonal allergies, it is aqueous sublingual immunotherapy.
Listen to @DrNikhilaMEng and why she chose to offer SLIT over SCIT.
Thank you @_backtableENT & Dr. Kahwash for our conversation!
When allergy meds aren’t enough, how do you choose the right #immunotherapy?

SLIT is…
an option for someone who doesn’t like allergy shots.
used to treat mult foods & env allergies together.
safer & more convenient than OIT/TIP or allergy shots.
a better long term option for remission/sustained unresponsiveness.
$$$ and more expertise is needed.
Sublingual immunotherapy may result in desensitization & remission for peanut-allergic children. 60% of peanut-allergic children in test group experience desensitization to #peanut protein, according to research from JACI, an official journal of the AAAAI.

If your parents told you that you’re allergic to penicillin because of some reaction that happened as a baby, then you’re not likely allergic now. Talk with your doctor about possibly doing an oral challenge to remove that allergy.

Your friendly neighborhood allergist
