FAQs

How Does TIP Differ From Other Treatments Like OIT Or Palforzia?

The Tolerance Induction Program® (TIP) is the only lasting solution to food allergies.

Where treatments, like Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) or Palforzia, aim to desensitize the immune system and protect patients from “accidental ingestion” of their allergen, TIP allows patients to achieve “food freedom”. This means by the end of TIP treatment, patients can eat like a non-allergic person would and consume their allergens in ANY amount without restriction. 

Unlike exposure therapies, which expose patients directly to foods they are severely allergic to, TIP never begins by introducing patients directly to their allergens. Instead, TIP uses foods similar in molecular structure to an allergen to gradually retrain the immune system and safely develop tolerance. 

TIP has sustained a 99% success rate for those who complete the program. Adverse event rates requiring epinephrine are lower than 1%. Most exposure therapies vary from practice to practice, have an uneven success rate, and have had adverse event rates of 20% or higher depending on the practice.

Additionally, while most other treatment options will turn away patients with severe or multiple food allergies, TIP can treat even the most complex food allergy cases!

Does TIP Treat Multiple Food Allergies?

Yes. TIP specializes in treating patients with multiple severe food allergies. We generally treat all food allergies, including the Top 9 allergens and many more. We have even had success treating patients with 20+ allergens!

Many food allergies are often interconnected. To produce the best results, TIP treats the immune system as a whole, addressing a patient's full allergic profile.

Are There Any Food Allergies Too Severe For TIP To Treat?

No. At Food Allergy Institute, we treat the full spectrum of food allergens, regardless of their severity.

Learn How TIP Works

Does the Tolerance Induction Program Require The Use Of Medications?

As part of the Tolerance Induction Program, patients are placed on a low-dose, over-the-counter antihistamine and/or nasal spray during part or all of active treatment. These medications are determined on a patient-by-patient basis and help to supplement the treatment process as we systematically introduce the patient’s allergens according to their unique protocol. Once the patient graduates from the program, and in some cases sooner, they no longer need to continue with these medications.
