My daughter has been flagged as a good candidate for the study, as she is highly allergic to dairy but does not go into anaphalactic shock. I have a few more weeks to decide, but I wish there was more data to digest. She is only 6, so she could still outgrow it on her own.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812798397586790684.post-25659191248928144822009-08-26T07:55:30.391-07:002009-08-26T07:55:30.391-07:00As a mom of a MA child (among other allergies), th...As a mom of a MA child (among other allergies), this seems promising. I, like you and others, have questions too. Is there a chance the desensitization process (over time) can increase the severity of the allergy? Will the process result in complete tolerance of dairy or will they only be able to tolerate it in small amounts? Are all of the different milk proteins included in the desensitizing process? <br /><br />I will be watching this study carefully and hoping that maybe it will make the jump to the Midwest in a location close to us. If it is promising without major side effects (i.e reactions), than I would seriously consider it with my son.<br /><br />Thanks for posting!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333747196556945089noreply@blogger.com
