Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I know about 3 years ago, a study of Xolair with folks with peanut allergy was discontinued, because the peanut challenges proved to much of a risk. Whether or not any other studies have started, I don't know. As for food allergies and Xolair, talk with a doctor who prescribes Xolair to a large population, including children, and see what his/her experience and knowledge are, and ask him/her to contact the folks at National Jewish and see what information they have (National Jewish Research Center in Colorado has been involved in Xolair research from the get go). If you do a search, you should be able to find posts from some of our parents with kids on Xolair, which have been very positive. Most of us, but not all, have done very well on Xolair. I thank God for it every day, and I know my parents, who had such a rough time with my severe allergies/asthma, wish it had been available much earlier.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have severe food allergies but did not begin taking Xolair because of them (asthma was first priority). That being said, since I started Xolair in 2005 I have noticed a great improvement/decreased sensitivity to many things that used to bother me. Unless I'm late getting my Xolair or already have my allergies flared up for any other reason I don't have near the food reactions I had pre-Xolair (for instance, instead of throat swelling and anaphyl., a lot of times i just get mild itching around my mouth and hives on my arms). I don't go out of my way to eat things I know I'm severely allergic to though (34 years of not eating a lot of foods is a hard habit to break). Is anybody with food allergies taking Xolair? I have a child with severe food allegies and asthma. I would like to know what other people's experience has been with xolair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I don't have any known food allergies, but I can tell you that Xolair appears to have completely cured my sulfite allergy.
