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.

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.

I’m trying to find white bread for my grandson. But they all seem to say they contain sesame or made in a facility that processes tree nuts. It’s been frustrating. Any suggestions?

Dairy Allergies
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have recently been experiencing shortness of breath. I’ve had testing done and they have ruled out heart, lungs and anemia issues. I’ve eaten yogurt and other dairy products more than I have. I’m going to have blood work done to determine what food allergies I have. My guess is dairy may be one.

Food Intolerance Vs. Allergy
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have food intolerances. I get very sick with wheat. It feels like I'm going to die. I my skin test showed a giant hive for wheat, but my blood work is neg. I had a positive skin test for dairy, but I can eat it with no problems. I don't understand.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

My doctor and others told me not allergic bc none of my "intolerances" show up in my blood work. Won't even consider skin testing. 🤯😕

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am newly diagnosed (less than three weeks) and my husband just is not getting how severely allergic I am to shellfish! He made me react twice. The first time was a learning curve! Second time he used a pan and didn't clean it well I used it later to cook land I ended up in the hospital!

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi people, I have just about had enough of bland boring food just the same every night, some veg is allowed, little fruit and gluten free a must. I can't find a decent veggie sausage anywhere. Climbing the walls without them! Help?

Anyone Have Lunch Ideas For Eating During Work Training?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I will be out of town for training with my work. I will be at a facility that will provide meals. I have never had success with eating when someone has catered the food in. I will not have access safe restaurants and will not have my own transportation nor familiarity with the area to try to venture away on my own. I am looking for something that I can brown bag to take to eat at the hotel and during the conference. I have Peanut, Tree Nut, Shellfish and Iodine allergies. Thanks in… read more

Contact the organizer of the training and inform them of the food allergy. It’s the same as accommodating people with mobility disabilities, etc.
