Comments on: A cure for milk allergies – Part 8: Will Brett be cured of his milk allergy? http://childrenshospitalblog.org/a-cure-for-milk-allergies-part-8-will-brett-be-cured-of-his-milk-allergy/ Children's Hospital Boston's pediatric health blog Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:38:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Beth Stella http://childrenshospitalblog.org/a-cure-for-milk-allergies-part-8-will-brett-be-cured-of-his-milk-allergy/comment-page-1/#comment-1488 Beth Stella Sat, 29 May 2010 07:04:00 +0000 http://childrenshospitalblog.org/?p=1874#comment-1488 I cried and cried at the end of these videos. I'm 19 years old and have a severe milk allergy. I almost died earlier this year because of it, and have just been having a lot of trouble coping with it, with not being afraid every time I eat a meal I didn't make. This little boy and the work Children's is doing are inspirational. It's nice to know there may be hope for a little normalcy yet. He is so lucky, and I know I'd jump at the chance to do what he did.

I have a 23 year old son in Boston who is allergic to milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts. He would love to participate in an adult version of this study if you decide to conduct one. 23 years is a long time to avoid milk and other foods.<br>Thank you for all you do. This is so exciting!

She says that in our study, Xolair is given for 16 weeks. Xolair is FDA-approved for chronic use in severe asthma in patients 12 years and older. Erin Graham Hi Jennifer,

Brett began Xolair on March 23 and had his last dose on July 23rd. I was told it took 6 weeks for the Xolair to be completely out of his system. So by Sept 2nd he no longer had any Xolair in his system. It is my understanding that Xolair has used to treat moderate persistent asthma by allergist for many years now. One would need to check with their insurance provider about whether or not they'd cover the cost of the treatment. Thank you Jennifer.
