As someone who not only suffers from many food allergies such as seafood, dairy, and various fruits, but other allergies such as pollen, dust mites etc...I have had immunotherapy shots in the past for a total amount of about 3 years.
I stopped taking them after those 3 years. I discovered after by chance that I was no longer allergic to strawberries, which I was previously allergic to. I even had some this morning without any allergic reactions. But I’m still allergic to many fruits so it’s never really made sense to me.
How do you think this phenomenon happened? Does food allergy immunotherapy guarantee somehow less allergic reactions to the allergens or can possibly eliminate the allergy all together if done for a certain amount of years?
