I wondered if anyone has done this privately and what their experience was like? I think it is only the Cambridge peanut allergy clinic that offers the service?
My dd is allergic to peanuts and chickpeas. She's 12 now, and had an anaphylactic reaction at high school in her first term. She is an anxious kid anyway and worries so much about food. She won't go to sleepovers and panics about school trips. I've been reading about the desensitisation program and am thinking about doing it. I'd be so worried about her reacting though. Her blood test results for peanuts were through the roof.
I've no idea what it would cost, but we have some savings we could use. We are also a four hour drive to Cambridge. I'd love to hear from anyone who has been through the program to help us weigh up the pros and cons.
