Most children with milk allergy grow out of it. But if you are still allergic at the age of 5, the chances of it getting better are much less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some children with milk allergy can eat baked milk (in a biscuit, for example) without a problem, but cannot have it in fresh or boiled forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milk allergy in older children can be severe. The fact that milk and other dairy products are everywhere can make it very difficult for a young person to keep themselves safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stage 1 – you receive increasing doses of very dilute milk in clinic under our supervision every 30 minutes until you have taken 5 doses. These are very small doses, added to a drink. We expect most people to have no problems with this first day of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You continue the same final dose for the next 2 weeks at home, once a day, with food\/drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stage 2 – called \u201cupdosing\u201d. You then come back to us to try a new, higher dose. We observe you for at least 60 minutes before you can go home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You continue to take your dose at home very day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We repeat this process, where you take your daily dose at home and come back every 2 weeks for a new dose, for about 6 months, until you achieve the final target daily dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stage 3 – called “maintenance”. After about 6 months of clinic visits every 2 weeks, once you can take the final target daily dose without a problem, you have reached stage 3. You continue to give the same daily dose at home for at least 6 months. After that, we discuss options for going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, it’s possible to gradually build tolerance to baked milk, but this does not help reduce your risk of reacting to the proteins in milk that are less affected by baking, so you are still very much at risk of severe allergic reactions to accidental milk exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need an initial assessment visit<\/em> – <\/strong>this is to discuss the balance of risks and benefits with you (the person with allergies) and your parents\/carers. We will explain the process and answer any questions you may have, before committing to treatment. This is not intended as opportunity to discuss allergies in general, or diagnose allergies – if you have not been seen in an allergy clinic already, you would have to do that first (either here at Glasgow Private Clinic, or through the NHS or elsewhere).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This first visit is charged at \u00a3150. We will try to ensure this first visit is appropriate by getting some initial details from you by phone or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The total cost of treatment is \u00a38000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This covers: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Annual follow up after that is recommended but not included in the above price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you change your mind before starting stage 1 (initial escalation visit) – full refund minus a \u00a3250 administration fee (a further charge of \u00a3250 will be applied if less than 7 days\u2019 notice is given).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not progress beyond the Initial Escalation visit \u2013 70% refund minus a \u00a3250 administration fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you stop treatment before the 6th up dosing visit \u2013 50% refund minus a \u00a3250 administration fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you stop treatment after the 6th up dosing visit but before the 10th up dosing visit \u2013 25% refund minus a \u00a3250 administration fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you stop treatment after the 10th up dosing visit \u2013 no refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are able to offer a payment plan, where the cost of the treatment is spread over the first 6 months. This incurs a \u00a3100 administration fee on each of 3 payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payment 1 \u2013 must be received prior to Initial Escalation visit \u2013 50% of total<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payment 2 \u2013 2 months after Initial Escalation visit \u2013 25% of total<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payment 3 \u2013 4 months after Initial Escalation visit \u2013 25% of total<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most children with milk allergy grow out of it.
