Empower your health with oral food challenges

Introduction to oral food challenges

Oral food challenges are a meticulous diagnostic method used to determine whether a person has a food allergy. This procedure is typically recommended when a food allergy is suspected based on a patient’s medical history and initial test results.

Our thoughtful oral food challenge method

During an oral food challenge, this is what you should expect:

Gradual Introduction The patient gradually consumes small, increasing amounts of the suspected allergen.

Close Supervision
This process occurs under our skilled allergists’ watch in a controlled clinical setting.

Monitoring for Reactions
We carefully monitor for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or gastrointestinal symptoms.

Emergency Preparedness
The challenge is conducted with immediate access to emergency medical care to ensure your safety.

The gold standard for diagnosing food allergies

Oral food challenges are considered the most reliable method for diagnosing food allergies. Unlike other tests, OFCs provide definitive evidence of how your body reacts to a specific food, allowing for a clear and accurate diagnosis.
