With oral immunotherapy, children can gradually overcome food allergies and gain lasting protection from severe reactions.
For children with severe food allergies, even a tiny bite of the wrong food can trigger a life-threatening reaction. The constant anxiety around meals, school lunches, and social events can overwhelm both kids and parents. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, our pediatric-focused oral immunotherapy (OIT) program is designed to help children build tolerance to food allergens, reducing their risk of anaphylaxis and giving them a safer, more confident future.
Please note that we accept patients into our OIT program who are between 6 months - 25 years. We currently offer OIT in our La Jolla, Torrance and Long Beach offices, with additional sites in CA and AZ coming in 2025.
We offer both Oral Immunotherapy and Sublingual Immunotherapy options for our patients.We have a highly trained and compassionate team dedicated to ensuring your family's comfort and safety throughout the course of your treatment, including 24/7 on-call providers and OIT concierge.

Food immunotherapy is like training for your child’s immune system. Under medical supervision, they’ll gradually consume small amounts of the allergies, increasing the does over time. This helps increase their tolerance and reduce the chance of reactions from accidental exposures.
OIT AT MAA: At Modena Health, we provide two innovative treatments: Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) and Sublingual Immunotherapy (OIT-s). These programs help your child safely build tolerance to allergens. Whether dealing with one or multiple allergies, we’re here to help!
