What Are Food Allergies and
What Are the Warning Signs?

A food allergy occurs when your body's immune system mistakenly identifies a protein in a food as harmful or a threat, triggering an adverse response. While any foods can cause allergic reactions, our office near Fort Worth usually sees patients with allergies to peanuts, tree nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cashews), seeds (such as sesame seeds), milk, eggs, and shellfish (such as shrimp and crab).

Symptoms of food allergies can vary in their severity, ranging from mild discomfort to a life-threatening event. If you or a loved one in the Fort Worth area experiences any of the following after eating, we highly recommend a food allergy evaluation:

Step 2- In-Office Evaluation

The next step is visiting our clinic near Fort Worth for diagnostic testing that may include the following:

The quick, in-office test involves placing a tiny amount of allergen extract on the skin's surface and scratching it gently with a small, sterile device to check for reactions, such as redness or raised bumps.

This simple test measures the level of specific antibodies (Immunoglobulin E) in your blood, helping determine allergic responses to certain foods.

This cutting-edge diagnostic tool involves consuming tiny, measured doses of the suspect allergen to confirm or rule out a food allergy.

Basophil Activation Test (BAT)

The innovative blood test determines whether certain foods activate a type of white blood cell known as basophils, helping distinguish true allergies from mere sensitization.

Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for Food Allergy Care

For many patients, simple avoidance is not enough. The good news is that treatment options, such as single or multi-food oral immunotherapy (OIT), offer a transformative solution for both children and adults. With OIT, you or your child will ingest tiny, precisely measured doses of one or a combination of food allergens under our team's close supervision. We gradually increase these doses with the goal of desensitizing your immune system over time. OIT has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of severe or even life-threatening reactions in the event of accidental exposure, helping you live more safely and confidently.
