OIT for BC

Thank you, Janey and DoReMi, for hosting this inspiring fundraiser and education session!

Some good news in 2020! The latest study from Dr Chan, Dr Soller and the team at University of British Columbia and BC Children's Hospital Research Institute is so promising. It gives us hope for a safer future for all kids living with food allergies. #OIT #hope #peanutallergy #foodallergies #research

An inspiring new study from Dr Chan, Dr Soller and the team at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute and the University of British Columbia. In their latest OIT study, researchers found that nearly 80% of the preschoolers were able to eat 15 peanuts without reaction during an allergist-supervised oral challenge. So hopeful about these results, that these kids will be at much less risk of anaphylaxis from an accidental exposure! #hope #OIT #peanutallergy #research... https://globalnews.ca//ubc-peanut-allergy-real-world-study/
