ABSTRACT
We reported a successful oral immunotherapy (OIT) in 2 children with high wheat sensitivity (4 and 14 years old boys). Oral challenges indicated eliciting doses of 300 mg, and wheat flour of 30 mg. The OIT protocol includes 5 days of build-up phase in the hospital, intervening with 2 to 5 months of home maintenance phase. Patients could tolerate 45 g, and 60 g of wheat flour per day, respectively. We have demonstrated that OIT to a large amount of wheat in extremely sensitized patients could be achieved with a stepwise multi oral/maintenance regimen.
