Nathan went into anaphylactic shock after a small spoon of peanut butter when I introduced it to him at 7 months of age. He has not overcome this allergy, and since then we have discovered he is also allergic to eggs and milk (after having reactions to ingestion) and cashews and pistachios (after skin prick testing for tree nuts). All allergens were confirmed by IgE blood testing and we monitor them every 6 months.
I really didn’t know much about food allergies (including the top 9) when I started introducing foods. We have no history of food allergies in my family or my in-laws. Since his diagnosis, I have been on a mission to find as many resources as possible- through Instagram, podcasts, health care providers, and the community.
