#366: If your baby has a diagnosed food allergy, you might feel overwhelmed by the idea of food avoidance for the indefinite future.

In this episode pediatric allergist Dr. David Stukus explains what oral immunotherapy is, how it works and whether or not it’s a viable option for young children with food allergy.
