    My IGE Level for peanut was a 42 at the start of OIT. I am doing oral ingestion therapy as palforzia takes much, much longer. I started off at 0.000g1 of a peanut and in 9 months, I'm able to eat 12 peanuts a day. My ROTC battalion gave me permission to stay in the program as a cadet while...

    Hey! I'm set to graduate OIT in a week! I'm eating 12 peanuts daily and about to submit proof of a successful ingestion test to my ROTC Brigade medical team. The OIT has worked well - but I still don't have a determination on the waiver. How's your progress?

    Davy, You recently posted that you received a waiver for a peanut allergy at DoDMERB. My own waiver for a peanut allergy was denied. Can you tell me a bit more about the process and how you managed to secure a waiver? Thanks, Tom

    Azhb, Just a heads up, the food allergy is probably going to be the biggest point of issue for you. I'm currently pending DQ at DODMERB myself for a peanut allergy that, like you, I discovered I had around age 7. You may want to consider doing OIT for whatever allergen it is and be prepared for...
