No - you should not try peanut products on your own, even if medications are currently controlling your hive symptoms. While Xolair shows promise in helping reduce peanut allergy sensitivity, it must be used as part of a supervised treatment plan, not independently.

Peanut allergy reactions can be unpredictable - a mild reaction previously doesn't guarantee the next exposure will be mild. Reactions can potentially be life-threatening, regardless of how well-controlled your current symptoms are. Any attempts to introduce peanut products should only be done under direct medical supervision from your allergist as part of a structured treatment plan like oral immunotherapy (OIT). Your allergist can evaluate if newer treatment options like Palforzia or Xolair-supported desensitization protocols might be appropriate for your specific situation.
