Palforzia is being discontinued in 2026.

If you're a food allergy parent, I know this news feels scary. But here's what you need to know:

Palforzia was never the only way to do peanut OIT. It was just the branded, prepackaged version.

Allergists like me have been doing OIT peanut flour for years. Same science, same life-changing results.

The product is going away. The treatment is not.

If you're in Texas and want to explore peanut OIT for your child, don't hesitate to make an appointment.

MYTH BUSTED: "Food allergies always run in families"

Doctor, no one in our family has any allergies.

How did my child develop food allergies?"

This is one of the most common questions I hear after giving parents a food allergy diagnosis.

The answer might surprise you!

While genetics certainly plays a role in food allergies, approximately 50% of children diagnosed with food allergies have NO family history of allergic conditions.

That's right – about half of my young patients are the first in their families to develop food allergies.

So where do these allergies come from? It's complicated.

Current research shows food allergies are multifactorial, involving:

1. Timing of food introduction: Meaning when allergic foods are introduced into the diet.
2. Environmental exposures
3. Changes in our gut microbiome

The science continues to evolve in this fascinating field, but one thing is clear:

Food allergies can and do occur in families even without any history of allergic disease.
