My 15 month old was just diagnosed with a peanut allergy but we were also told to stay away from tree nuts as well. I am looking for tips and advice to deal/live with this.
What should I do/ask when eating out?? What brands typically are nut free and safe to buy and which ones should I stay away from.
Thanks
Re: newly diagnosed peanut allergy...advice/tips needed
We have peanut allergy and we really haven't had too many issues. We're cautious about what she eats but no troubles at parties with store bought cake. I always talk to the mom/my friend and make sure there will be safe foods. One time I forgot to ask until I was screaming in a panic at my friend about some weird app my daughter had just eaten, but thankfully all was OK.
We have en Epi for school, at home, my mom's house, and a spare.
Just start label checking and be aware what your bean is eating. Every time I feed my son we label check. I do it even if I know. I say look B does this have nuts... No nuts.. It is B safe.
We do it with Gluten also since he is Celiac but now every time he eats he asks me "mommy does it have nuts? Mommy does it have gluted in it? Mommy is it B safe?"
He does this with everyone so it makes them aware.
