👉 Parents of toddlers—ask your allergist about dosing options.

Why 500 mg? It wasn’t random—and it wasn’t about pushing limits.

In this clip, Dr. Alice Hoyt explains how preschool OIT dosing decisions came directly from published data and real-world outcomes—not guesswork.
• Cleveland Clinic preschool data compared 300 mg vs 3000 mg peanut protein
• Both groups reached the same level of tolerance
• Higher-dose kids experienced more reactions
• Lower dosing offered the same benefit with better safety
• 500–600 mg (about half a teaspoon) became a practical, family-friendly solution

Lower dose didn’t mean less effective—it meant fewer reactions and a more feasible approach for families.

If you’re a parent navigating food allergy decisions and unsure what dosing options make sense for your toddler, expert guidance matters.

POV: Allergy scratch test 👀🩺
Tiny scratches, quick reactions, and answers in real time. It’s not painful — just a simple way to see what your immune system is responding to and help guide the next steps.

Jordan came in with difficulty breathing, hives, runny nose, and more symptoms of allergies. Well, we did a scratch test, and now we know why - and knowledge is such an important step! Now that we know that he's *significantly* allergic to many trees and other allergens, we can come up with a plan to get him feeling much better for the upcoming spring season.

If you’ve been putting off testing or wondering what it actually looks like, this is it. We walk you through every step — fear-free.

Pizza 🍕 + Ice Cream 🍨 = A Milestone Day 🎉

Dr Chacko here with Madison — and today is a BIG one. Her first official milk pizza and ice cream party!

Madison avoided dairy her entire life — 11 years. When she started, her milk IgE was 57 and casein was 43. Those are significant numbers. But step by step, safely and consistently, she built up at home… and now? She drinks a full glass of milk every single day. 🥛

Today we proved it the best way we know how — pizza and ice cream in the office.

We’re still avoiding egg and tree nuts for now — but no more saying “no dairy” at restaurants. That chapter is closed. Madison is officially eating milk liberally, and next up… we’ll tackle egg.

Milk is one of the hardest allergies to manage. It’s in everything. Which is why we often say — if choosing between egg and milk first… let’s start with milk.

Mom said it best: “Come see Dr Chacko. He’s amazing. The staff is amazing.”

We’re just honored you trusted us with this journey. 💙

If you’ve been told to avoid forever, ask questions. There may be a path forward.

Today I am here with the Price family Nathan is 10 years old and has been avoiding milk his whole life.

But today? He’s drinking milk right in front of us. Slowly. Confidently. Smiling. 🥛

Milk allergy is one of the hardest to avoid. It’s everywhere. And that’s why we’re so passionate about showing families that lifelong avoidance isn’t always the only option. There is hope. There is a plan. There is a structured, safe path forward.

Now here’s the part that makes this even more special.

The Price family does ministry work and was prepared to self-pay. Dr Chacko stopped them and said, “Don’t pay me anything. Take everything you were going to give and pour it back into your ministry. Give it to someone who needs it.”

Everything — on the house.

Because helping people who help people? That’s the mission. 💛

We’re honored to walk alongside families like this every single day. If your child is struggling with food allergies, you deserve to know your options.

“Can we treat food allergies in adults?”

Yes — we absolutely can.
Today is a perfect example.

I have a college student starting his milk journey 🥛
His milk IgE is around 40, casein about 20, and he’s avoided all dairy his entire life. We’re slowly and safely re-introducing it.

I also have college-aged brothers back home on break.
One is visiting from Northwestern 🎓
They were told to avoid certain foods their whole lives — but their numbers actually suggest tolerance.

So today:
🥜 One brother is doing a peanut challenge
🌰 Another is doing a hazelnut challenge

Avoided for years — but the labs say it’s time to reassess.

I also have an adult visiting from Minnesota who already does peanut OIT with another allergist. He’s here just for an updose while he’s in town.

And finally, a high school student doing a sunflower seed challenge 🌻
Not OIT — just a challenge. Told to avoid it forever, but labs are low and suggest tolerance.

So no babies today.
No toddlers.

Just teens, college kids, and adults — all doing food introductions or treatment.

That’s the takeaway.

If you’re an adult and your food allergy still affects your life, you don’t have to just live with it. Options exist. We see patients locally, from out of state, and we work with colleagues across the country.

If it bothers you — let us know.
We’re happy to help.

Catherine has been doing OIT with me for about two years, and this is exactly why we do it.

When she started, her numbers were around 2–3. Her family stayed consistent, followed the plan, and trusted the process. Fast forward to today: her IgE is now zero, and she’s comfortably eating foods that once weren’t possible.

Today’s video is simple proof. She’s eating tree nuts she already knows, nothing new, nothing scary—just tolerance built over time. That’s how the immune system learns.

A lot of families don’t realize that when you start treatment early, this can be the outcome. Catherine likely started with us before kindergarten, and now she eats cashews naturally, without fear. Early exposure allowed her body to adapt, build tolerance, and move forward.

This is why we say don’t wait. Years ago, this wasn’t always discussed. Today, it should be part of the conversation. OIT is an option—and when done early and consistently, the results speak for themselves.

Early treatment. Real results. Confident kids.

👋Dr. Chacko here, and I’m with the Glasgow family — and this is Richard, who goes by Nico

Nico is almost 2 years old, and today we did his final peanut butter challenge.

The result?
👉 Nico is no longer allergic to peanuts. 🥜✨

Mom shared something important.
They initially saw another allergist and were told to wait. But that didn’t sit right with her. So she did what a lot of parents do — she talked to other moms in her community, asked questions, and kept digging.

That’s how she found us.

And she’s absolutely right — waiting isn’t always the best answer.

Instead of years of avoidance and possibly needing an EpiPen, Nico has been introducing peanut at home, doing great, and today he ate peanut butter right here — as much as he wanted.

No reactions.
No fear.

I’ve now told mom and dad to go ahead and make peanut butter and jelly part of his regular diet 🥪💙

And yes — they found us on Instagram.
That’s why we share these stories. Because options are out there, and one decision can completely change the trajectory of a child’s life.

If you’ve been told to just avoid and it doesn’t feel right, ask questions. Get another set of eyes.

Sometimes, doing nothing isn’t the best answer — and today is proof of that.

Flonase isn’t a “use it when you remember” spray - and our social media person, Anna, is GUILTY 👃❌
It only works if you use it consistently. This isn’t a PRN medication — it needs to build up in your system to calm inflammation. That means daily use, not a few sprays here and there.

Rule of thumb: aim for at least 5 out of 7 days. Using it 5 times over 3 weeks won’t tell you anything.

For spring allergies, start early — even a couple weeks before symptoms usually hit. Consistency is what actually makes it work.

If you’re still congested, miserable, or unsure whether you’re even using the right treatment, that’s a good reason to get checked.

📢 Listen up — this is an important one.

Meet Henry 👋
Henry is 6 years old with peanut and tree nut allergies.

We started him on peanut oral immunotherapy, very low dose — only 5–10 mg. Not aggressive. Slow and careful.

During treatment, Henry began having EoE-like symptoms. And this is the question I get at least once a week:

👉 “Can OIT cause EoE-type symptoms?”
Yes — rarely. And we know how to manage it.

Because we see high volumes, we also see the rare cases.

What did we do?
✔️ Lowered the dose
✔️ Slowed things down
✔️ Treated reflux symptoms temporarily
✔️ Gave his body time to adapt

And guess what?

Henry is now doing great 💪
He’s tolerating 5 mg of peanut without issues and has even started cashew 🌰

So when EoE-like symptoms show up during OIT:
➡️ We don’t panic
➡️ We adjust
➡️ We individualize the plan

It takes patience and finesse — but it’s doable.

Bottom line:
EoE-like symptoms during OIT are uncommon, but manageable, and most kids do very well with the right approach.

If you have questions or concerns, we’re here to help.

First time trying peanut 🥜

Aubrey is taking on the Modified Bamba Challenge with Bamba peanut puffs, starting slow and building up safely. This is how we introduce foods the right way, one step at a time.

No fear. No rushing. Just smart, guided exposure and trust in the process.

By the end of the year, the goal is simple: PB&J like everyone else.

Scratch testing in real time 👀
It’s not painful — just a quick scratch with the allergen on the tip.

This spot? Positive.
That one? Negative.

And already, dust mites are showing up 👃💥
Pollens… not so much (yet).

Simple, fast, and gives us answers.

If you or your child haven’t been tested yet — or you’re dealing with lingering congestion, sneezing, or allergies that never seem to improve — this is often the first step.

Come see us at any of our locations and we’ll guide you through testing and next steps, fear-free.
