There are a number of factors that determine the length of treatment. Age, severity of allergens, type of allergen, family history, health history, etc. are all considered when designing your child’s unique protocol. The length of treatment will vary based on each child’s individual plan. At the end of your…

The Food Allergy Institute houses a unique Food Lab where all doses are prepared. Given the precise nature of TIP, each patient requires very specific protein dose requirements down to the milligram and microgram of protein — and free from cross-contamination. Our Food Lab is led by several food technicians…

The Food Allergy Institute model harnesses the synergy of clinical therapeutics, research, and advocacy — three pillars in healthcare — under one roof. The emphasis on large quantities of data — or “big data” — within an integrated model that resulted in the Tolerance Induction Program and its unprecedented results…

TIP is built on almost two decades of diagnostic data collected from the patients we have treated. This amounts to trillions of data points. What is the purpose of collecting all that data? The data allows us to use high-powered mathematics and analytics to best understand food allergy and how…

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach). It occurs when a type of white blood cell, the eosinophil, accumulates in the esophagus and persists despite acid-blocking medicine.  96% of patients at Food Allergy Institute fall into one…

However, when each patient receives an entirely unique…

At the Food Allergy Institute, we treat children with any food allergy without restriction. No matter how complex or challenging the case may be, we are committed to taking on the challenge and providing the necessary support. In some instances, we may collaborate with other specialists such as gastroenterologists or…

The treatment program involves various non-billable services, such as laboratory support, food support, constant on-call support, heavy data analytics, and more. These services contribute to the overall patient experience and are necessary for their care. The TIP Program Fee helps offset the costs associated with facility work, analytics, diagnostic testing,…

After almost two decades of treating patients, and 8,000 patients in remission with the Tolerance Induction Program (TIP), no long-term negative side effects have been observed. On the contrary, positive side effects have been reported. These positive effects may include children reaching normal weight and height distributions based on their…
