[quote=Anonymous]As far as the allergist goes, the blood tests aren’t confirmatory. Though I would do a good challenge for any suspected allergy. We’ve had success with hazelnut (yay Nutella), cashews and pistachios. We have so many others though including some almonds and other tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, fish...we try to be careful. My son loves sushi, but we ended up in the ER because we ordered from a different restaurant and the sushi had peanut sauce. We also ended up in the ER because of contaminated cashew butter from WF. Always carry Benedryl and an epipen. No matter how careful you are, you never know. Make sure your child knows the signs of a reaction and what to do. Allergies make such simple things so much harder and anxiety inducing (parties, sleep away camp, etc). [/quote]
