A member asked:

What do i do to get rid of a food allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoidance: Avoidance remains the only way to deal with food allergies. It does not eliminate the allergy or get rid of it but can make it less likely that you will experience symptoms. Children sometimes lose certain food allergies over time but adults are more likely to have persistent allergies.
