Remission is the goal for every child in the Tolerance Induction Program.
The definition of remission involves sustained unresponsiveness. This scientific and immunologic term is defined as a seven-day period between which your child ingests a very large serving of a previously anaphylactic food without any clinical or immunologic reaction. Seven days later, the same ingested amount results in the same response without any exposure in between the seven-day period.
This model of weekly dose exposure at high amounts inducing sustained unresponsiveness is critical to the Tolerance Induction Program. Your child will be reevaluated on an annual basis to review their state of remission.
Remission is the absence of signs or symptoms of a disease process. TIP™ Remission is a state of immune unresponsiveness with once weekly protein exposures. This simply means that your child will essentially eat like a non non-allergic person.
We are committed to lasting Food Freedom for all of our patients. We understand the amount of time and effort that went into reaching Remission. Our journey with you doesn’t end here.
