Food Allergy Info
Natural Food Allergy Treatment.
Food allergies are rising rapidly in America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children’s food allergies increased by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011. Research now shows that 1 in every 13 children suffers from a food allergy (roughly two per school classroom). Of those children, 30 percent are allergic to multiple food items.1
Up until recently, people with food allergies were simply told to avoid trigger foods, but this can be difficult—especially when common allergens lurk in many unsuspecting places (think soy and gluten in some deli meats and milk proteins in various brands of root beer). And there’s also the challenge of trying to get important nutrients and food variety when you can only eat certain things.
Fortunately, there’s now hope thanks to a natural food allergy treatment known as sublingual immunotherapy. Sublingual immunotherapy starts with liquid drops containing all-natural food antigens suspended in a saline solution. The drops are dispensed under the tongue daily where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. Over time, the body may become desensitized to allergy-causing foods, allowing people to eat more of what they want without fear of reactions.
This sublingual immunotherapy alternative allergy treatment is effective for wheat, egg, milk, soy, and tree nut allergy treatment as well as for dozens of other common food allergens. Physicians interested in helping their patients’ food allergies can order our turnkey naturopathic food allergy treatment program.
Physicians: Getting Started
Treatment starts with a brief allergy skin test. If your patients qualify for treatment, you can prescribe sublingual immunotherapy through a compounding pharmacy. We provide you with all of the supplies and training needed to test your food-allergic patients and treat them with allergy drops. Testing is simple and usually requires less than 30 minutes per patient. Training includes all the information that you will need for diagnosing, billing, patient education, marketing, and more.
Common Food Allergy Questions.
AllergyEasy can help with more than just environmental allergies. Sublingual drops for food allergies are designed to help patients tolerate more of the foods they enjoy–without fear of reactions.
What foods can be treated for?
Are there side effects or risks?
Because the allergy drops contain the same particles found in nature, there are minimal side effects. And since this natural food allergy treatment has a more favorable safety profile than shots,2 the allergy drops can be taken safely at home.

How long until patients see results?
The majority of patients achieve relief from food allergy symptoms in three to six months of starting the food allergy treatment program and can then continue on maintenance food allergy drops. Some patients start to feel better in just the first few weeks of treatment. Each patient is unique, and results may vary.
How did this treatment come about?
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has been used successfully worldwide since the mid-1980s to treat environmental allergies. Recent studies, including high-profile clinical trials at Duke University involving nut allergy treatment, have proven sublingual immunotherapy to be a safe and highly effective treatment for food allergies as well.2

What health conditions have been improved with sublingual food allergy drops?
In addition to helping with standard food allergy treatment, under-the-tongue allergy drops have demonstrated efficacy with interstitial cystitis (IC) and eosinophilic esophagitis* treatment (EoE). The allergy drops can be prescribed for kids and adults.
*Eosinophilic esophagitis treatment targets an allergic condition that was only recently differentiated from standard reflux. EoE is characterized by inflammation of the esophagus and can cause abdominal pain, difficulty in swallowing, and food impaction.
What are the most common food allergy symptoms?
- Itching in the mouth
- Swelling of the lips, palate and throat
- Gastrointestinal problems (gas, cramping, frequent diarrhea, etc.)
- Skin problems (eczema, hives and angiodema)
- Hay fever, sinus problems, ear infections, etc. that persist even after treatment for environmental allergies
Why choose AllergyEasy food allergy drops?
- Markedly reduce the chance of food-induced allergic reactions
- Easy, under-the-tongue serum administration
- Comprehensive antigen mix treats for 59 different food items
- Safer than allergy shots–minimal risk of side effects
- For children to seniors (sublingual serum has been shown to be safe for children under 5)4

More Food Allergy Info.
A food allergy is an adverse immune response to a food protein. Instead of perceiving food proteins as harmless agents, the body mistakes them for an “invading enemy,” releasing harmful chemicals into the body to try to eradicate them. Food allergy tends to be hereditary and is common in people with environmental allergies (to pollen, dust, mold, etc.)
Typical food allergies include:
Signs of food allergy:
Symptoms of food allergy range from moderate to severe and usually occur within minutes to hours after eating the “problem food.”
Common food allergy symptoms:
- Skin rash
- Itching of mouth, lips, tongue, throat, eyes, skin, or other areas
- Swelling (angioedema) of the eyes, lips, tongue
- Difficulty swallowing and breathing
- Digestive trouble (flatulence, cramping, diarrhea, etc.)
- Hay fever-like symptoms
- Hoarse voice
- Wheezing and/or shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Anaphylaxis
Managing food allergy:
Just as the body can be allergic to dust, mold and pollens, it can have a similar response to food proteins. When the body encounters those proteins in food items, it may interpret them as an “invading enemy” and mount an immune response to “attack” the enemy. This can drain the body’s resources and lead to a host of uncomfortable allergy symptoms.
But if you’re tired of simply avoiding the foods that cause your allergy symptoms, there is promising news. New medical studies1 have validated a treatment called sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) as a useful approach to diminishing allergy symptoms. SLIT uses under-the-tongue drops of allergenic extracts designed to desensitize the body to food proteins. SLIT has proven successful in reducing allergy symptoms to various food items.
AllergyEasy clinics offer under-the-tongue serum drops that contain extracts of 59 different food items. Contact AllergyEasy to find a clinic near you.
