FAQs
What Pre-Existing Conditions does TIP Treat?
The Tolerance Induction Program has successfully treated patients with a variety of comorbidities and other pre-existing conditions, including:
- Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
- Asthma Eczema Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Celiac disease
- Many More
For patients with complex cases, Food Allergy Institute will partner with your child's medical team to plot the safest course of food allergy treatment. While we are committed to helping patients with pre-existing conditions overcome their food allergies, our program will not treat a patient's other medical conditions.
Does TIP Treat Multiple Food Allergies?
Yes. TIP specializes in treating patients with multiple severe food allergies. We generally treat all food allergies, including the Top 9 allergens and many more. We have even had success treating patients with 20+ allergens!
Many food allergies are often interconnected. To produce the best results, TIP treats the immune system as a whole, addressing a patient's full allergic profile.
Are There Any Food Allergies Too Severe For TIP To Treat?
No. At Food Allergy Institute, we treat the full spectrum of food allergens, regardless of their severity.
What Is The Adverse Events Rate?
In over 50 million home doses, less than 1% of patients have administered epinephrine. Reactions are rare, but we are prepared at all times. Each patient family is equipped with an anaphylaxis plan and our 24/7 emergency assistance is here to support you every step of the way. Safety is our top priority.
Are There Any Side Effects Of TIP Treatment?
After nearly a decades of treating patients, and 8,000 patients in remission with the Tolerance Induction Program (TIP), no long-term negative side effects have been observed. On the contrary, positive side effects have been reported. These positive effects may include children reaching normal weight and height distributions based on their age, improved social skills, reduced anxiety, and increased confidence as they progress through TIP and achieve deep tolerance. It’s important to note that individual experiences may vary, and it’s always recommended to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized information and guidance regarding potential side effects or benefits of any specific treatment program, including the Tolerance Induction Program (TIP).
Does the Tolerance Induction Program Require The Use Of Medications?
As part of the Tolerance Induction Program, patients are placed on a low-dose, over-the-counter antihistamine and/or nasal spray during part or all of active treatment. These medications are determined on a patient-by-patient basis and help to supplement the treatment process as we systematically introduce the patient’s allergens according to their unique protocol. Once the patient graduates from the program, and in some cases sooner, they no longer need to continue with these medications.

How Does TIP Differ From Other Treatments Like OIT Or Palforzia?
The Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP) is the only lasting solution to food allergies.
Where treatments, like Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) or Palforzia, aim to desensitize the immune system and protect patients from “accidental ingestion” of their allergen, TIP allows patients to achieve “food freedom”. This means by the end of TIP treatment, patients can eat like a non-allergic person would and consume their allergens in ANY amount without restriction.
Unlike exposure therapies, which expose patients directly to foods they are severely allergic to, TIP never begins by introducing patients directly to their allergens. Instead, TIP uses foods similar in molecular structure to an allergen to gradually retrain the immune system and safely develop tolerance.
TIP has sustained a 99% success rate for those who complete the program. Adverse event rates are lower than 1%. Most exposure therapies vary from practice to practice, have an uneven success rate, and have had adverse event rates of 20% or higher depending on the practice.
Additionally, while most other treatment options will turn away patients with severe or multiple food allergies, TIP can treat even the most complex food allergy cases!
