In recent years, Oral Immunotherapy(OIT)for food allergies has received a lot of attention. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of the treatment through research into the quality of life(QOL)of children with food allergies and their parents, and to explore the role of registered dietitians(RD)in the course of their therapy. Two validated food allergy-specific questionnaires(FAQLQ-CF and FAQLQ-PF)were distributed to 42 children with food allergies and their 42 parents respectively before children began an OIT protocol in hospital, and then again 6 months and 12 months after completing the protocol. Valid answers of 33 children and their 33 parents were analyzed. The results of the questionnaire revealed that the QOL as related to food of the children with food allergies and their parents had changed from the beginning of the protocol, and these benefits were still evident twelve months later. Especially, significant improvement was found in the "social anxiety" of 9 children who had eliminated only one food and also in their 9 parents. The children's eating habits had improved. And generally the OIT had positive effects on allergic children and their parents. But the researchers could not detect whether the children had enjoyed eating the foods they were allergic to during the therapy. RDs, who have acquired professional food expertise, have usually worked helping the patients and parents to avoid allergenic foods, but for those who undergo OIT protocol, they need to give advice and more detailed support to the children and parents on how to eat the allergenic food properly during and after their therapy.
