[quote=Anonymous]Most allergists define "anaphylaxis" as an allergic reaction involving two or more systems--so itching AND gastro distress is an anaphylactic reaction, whether or not it proves to be life-threatening. A reaction can be much, MUCH worse the second time around, or later. I've seen this with my own child as well as an adult friend at a BBQ. The adult friend literally couldn't speak and had to motion for me to give him his EpiPen. I assure you he felt more than "general discomfort" there and in the ER (and this was a fairly random event--I don't go out of my way to hang out with severely allergic people). I would suggest anyone who needs to know about food allergies get off this forum and consult an allergist who is up to date on the latest research. Some of the advice given so far could be very dangerous to your child. [/quote]
