Oral Immunotherapy for Food Allergy -The FAST perspective

Although the practical application of oral immunotherapy for food allergy (FOIT) is routine in Japan1 and common in Europe,2,3 it continues to be controversial in North America.4 It is not the intention of this report to engage in that polemic, but rather to acknowledge that there are at least dozens of allergists in North America treating thousands of food allergic patients with FOIT. We do not contend that collections of anecdotes are the same as data. We do believe, however, that questions arise in the day-to-day practice of food allergy treatment that must be addressed, but are unlikely to be the subject of prospective, controlled trials.
