Just diagnosed with almond (though the doctor said all tree nuts for now) and peanut. DS is 20 months. We have been living with a severe dairy allergy since 10 weeks, so allergy life isn't new to us, but I have to say I am really bummed out. When he had the blood test at 10 weeks, he tested negative for peanuts. He was never tested for tree nuts.
I honestly believed we were there to rule peanut out- my son grabbed a cup with extremely hot/spicy peanut sauce and water. Immediately he developed hives where the water hit, and his eyes were pretty much shut. However, it was the exact same look he had after going to a splash pad last summer when he reacted to chlorine. I really just thought it was his super sensitive skin reacting to the hot sauce- which let me tell you is VERY hot. I was wondering about the almonds ever since we gave him Honey Nut Cheerios a few times awhile back and they didn't seem to agree with him.
The positives: almond was only a 5 on the skin test. Milk reaction wasn't too bad- an 8. In the past, he got a drop of milk on his skin and he got an orange sized hive, so when I saw the milk reaction, I have to say it wasn't too bad. The peanut was 17. Not sure how serious that seems. My daughter has PB all.the.time and he's never had hives or anything of that nature.
Any thoughts on the 17? Do you think that's high? Any advice that I might not be aware of with just living with milk allergy would be appreciated too! TIA.
