Does Having A Peanut Allergy Mean That You Will Also Be Allergic To Tree Nuts.
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter had an allergy test done which came up positive for eggs, milk, soy, dust mites, dander, mould, grass, wheat and her highest being peanuts. So I just want to find out if tree nuts will also affect her since it was not specifically mentioned on her allergy test results.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

I learned through allergy tests that I can have tree nuts but not peanuts unless the nuts are roasted in peanut oil. However, I can have Chick-fil-A.

Has Anyone Had A Child Grow Out Of A Severe Peanut Or Egg Allergy?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son is 2 years old and has anaphylactic reaction to both peanuts and eggs. I am looking for hope that he may still grow out of these food allergies even though they are more severe.

Can Prometrium During Pregnancy Cause Peanut Allergy?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I read today that prometrium has peanut oil in it. I read it in an article that was listing medications to stay away from if you have a peanut allergy.

Well I took prometrium during most of my pregnancy with my daughter. In November my daughter tested positive for a peanut allergy. Now I'm wondering if there is a link between the two.

Anyone else take this medication and now your child has a peanut allergy? Or have you heard about this before?

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

I am not allergic to peanuts but yet when I was given prometrium I broke out in hives just took it once..then switched to a natural compounding progestrone.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 7 month old has tried eggs twice, the first time she had a rash on her tummy and my doctor told me to give it a few months and try again because it might not be an allergy, she just might not have been ready, we did today and within 5 minutes she had a rash around her mouth. I took the eggs away and so far she is her normal self, that was about an hour ago and the rash is all ready almost gone.

Suggestions For Flying With Peanut And Tree Nut Allergies
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have an 8 year old with peanut and tree nut allergies and we are hoping to fly to Disneyworld in April. We have never taken her (and her younger sister who does not have any food allergies that we are aware of) on an airplane. Any suggestions? We will probably stick with Jet Blue, but still know there are risks.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

Both of our kids have a peanut allergy (but not airborne). We wipe down the trays and seats well, bring our own food and make sure we have epi pens with us.

Parenting Advice For Peanut Allergy.
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

In November my daughter was diagnosed with a peanut allergy. She is my youngest of 4. She is only 11 months old, but my 3 boys are all in school already.

My question is how do you deal with your other kids that don't have food allergies? I'm asking because, Valentines parties are coming up at school. Should I be worried about what treats my boys are eating at school? Should I let their teachers know that their baby sister has a peanut allergy at home? Or will making them wash their hands when… read more

How Accurate Are SPTs?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with a peanut allergy when I was about 18 months old. My mom gave me peanut butter on crackers, but I didn't eat the snack, I just played with it and broke out in hives. She gave me a bath and the hives went away. I had a skin prick test when I was about 3 that confirmed a peanut allergy. I've never had a reaction to any food since, but I've also avoided all peanuts and nuts. I will usually eat food that says "May Contain Peanuts" on the label. I've never had an itchy mouth… read more

Blood tests are not accurate at all. Skin tests tend to be better indicators. But the best are oral food challenges, which I was freaked out to do. However, I did it - and am so glad I did. I know I… read more
