cashew nuts

We found out about our daughter’s allergies when she reacted with hives to peanut butter at 5 months old. We saw an allergist, who found allergies to peanut, dog, dairy, and egg. Since then, she’s also reacted to flax and cashew. We’re still in the thick of it and learning fast, but we’re on a list to start OIT (oral immunotherapy) and are working on egg and dairy ladders.

I’ve found it helpful to follow content creators of food-allergy kids, as well as joining allergy parent groups on Reddit and Facebook. The biggest help has been finding people who can relate, since I don’t know anyone in my life who deals with food allergies.

We used Rupall medications.

I found out Florence had allergies at 7 months old. She reacted to a bit of scrambled egg. Since then, she has gained 5 more allergies. These include peanuts, cashew nuts, pistachio, cherries, sesame and dust mites. She has overcome almond, coconut egg and tomato. I went to a general practitioner who referred us to an allergy doctor.
