Food Allergy Facts & Figures
- Food allergies are a serious and potentially life-threatening medical condition, impacting up to 34 million people in the U.S. and rising in prevalence globally.
- 5.6 million children, or nearly 8 percent, suffer from food allergies. That's approximately one in 13 children, or roughly two children in every classroom.
- There are nine major allergens recognized by the FDA
- peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, wheat, soy, fish, and sesame
- About 40% of food allergy patients are allergic to more than one food.
- Common allergic comorbidities reported by food allergy patients include:
- atopic dermatitis (48%)
- asthma (46%)
- allergic rhinitis (39%)

If you're a parent of a child with food allergies, you’ve likely been told to “just avoid the food,” “carry an EpiPen,” or consider daily exposure therapy like OIT. But what if there was a safer, smarter way — one designed to create real remission, not just reduce reactions?
Since 2015, Food Allergy Institute (FAI) has focused entirely on treating severe food allergies and eliminating life-threatening reactions to them. Unlike other allergy clinics and specialists, all our efforts are dedicated to helping families enjoy Food Freedom —the ability to eat whatever, whenever, without fear of an allergic reaction.
Introducing the Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP)
Our Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP) is a science-based, personalized alternative to traditional treatments. Designed for children and young adults (ages 18 months to 25 years) — including those with asthma, eczema, EOE, or multiple severe allergies — TIP uses advanced data and precision medicine to guide each patient to remission, typically within 2.5 to 4 years (treatment duration varies by patient). Over 90% of TIP patients can eat freely after completing the program, with proven success across all major food allergens.

What Sets TIP Apart
- Backed by an over 90% success rate in achieving remission for anaphylactic allergies
- Treats multiple allergies at once
- Accepts patients who don’t qualify for or didn’t succeed with OIT
- Comprehensive immune profiling
- Customized treatment roadmap outlining your first visit to your last

Why Thousands of Families Choose TIP
Unlike anything else available today, TIP uses a scientifically engineered, step-by-step process that starts by introducing safe, non-allergenic foods that share protein structures with your child’s actual allergens. This avoids triggering reactions and gradually teaches the immune system to tolerate real allergens safely, and for good.
Meet Our Founder

Dr. Inderpal Randhawa
TPIRC & Food Allergy Institute, CEO and Founder
Dr. Inderpal Randhawa is a leading clinical academic scientist with five board certifications in transplant immunology, allergy, pulmonology, pediatrics, and internal medicine. Early in his career, Dr. Randhawa began to question conventional protocols for the treatment of life-threatening food allergies.
Distressed by watching parents suffer the loss of a child to fatal allergic reactions, he proposed to find groundbreaking solutions and change the status quo. His early experience in lung transplant immunology, coupled with his collaboration with national allergy and immunology specialists, led him to develop the safe, targeted solutions now offered through the Food Allergy Institute (FAI).
“If you're ready for real food freedom, TIP is the only proven path.”












A Life Without Food Allergies Awaits
Join the thousands of patients who have overcome multiple severe food allergies through TIP! No more reading labels, missing social events, and no more food allergy anxiety. Schedule a free consultation with a program specialist below!












Miles started the program at 18 months old and is going to celebrate his 5th birthday next month without many menu limitations! Each time he has cleared a new food we have celebrated both the new food win and the safety he has gained. Clearing dairy has been our most monumental moment in our journey, and opened the most doors. Dairy is in just about everything. He was beyond excited to try a “normal” donut and dairy ice cream!
We are forever grateful to Dr. Randawa and all the providers in the TIP program for the gift of safety and freedom. We travel from Toronto for all his appointments, and he loves his fun getaways to California! The program is a huge investment of time, and effort but I would do it again in a heartbeat. It’s by and far one of the best decisions we have ever made!

TIP Mom From Canada
We heard about TIP from two good friends from Austria, both of whose children are already in remission. This was the reason why we decided to start TIP too and flew to LA. Something so exciting happened on our very first visit: We were sitting in the waiting area and suddenly heard loud applause and lots of people laughing from the bottom of their hearts. Suddenly we saw what was going on: A child had completed their very last challenge. "That's what food freedom sounds like," I thought, looking at my daughter. I could no longer contain my emotions. I was in tears. I looked at my daughter and said: "Soon we'll be celebrating your Food Freedom too, my darling." It was overwhelming.
Today - some months later, we are already eating the first nuts - without any problems - and the best thing about it: our daughter likes the taste!
