In this episode of Let's Clear the Air, Dr. Nicholas Cline talks with host Marcella Feathers about a process known as Oral Food Challenge.
Used to either clear or definitively determine a food allergy, the oral food challenge takes place in a controlled setting. For folks who may have been food allergic but are now testing negative via a skin test, or for anyone who has a blood test result of 2 or less, a food challenge can provide certainty. By introducing the allergic food in small, increasing doses, your allergist can watch for reactions, such as a drop in blood pressure, hives, and wheezing, and respond accordingly.
Listen to learn more about who is a good candidate for an oral food challenge and how the certainty of a diagnosis (or lack thereof) can be empowering.
