Abstract

Oral Tolerance Induction (OTI) is the only RCT-proven effective intervention for preventing childhood food allergy.(1, 2) OTI to peanut is highly effective in a high-risk population with an 81% relative risk ration (RRR) to peanut allergy .(3) OTI also reduced egg allergy in the general population in a per protocol analysis.(1) These published RCT findings have changed practice and many governmental and allergy societies now recommend introducing peanut in infancy; some suggest that other foods, such as well-cooked egg, are also introduced. Only National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) stratify their recommendations according to food allergy (FA) risk level.
