Prior to this I had no issues with nuts. I ran to my mother, and she fixed it but I don’t remember how. After this I went to the allergist who said my allergies were off the charts.

We didn’t have access to resources back in 2001-2002.

Her instinct was right and I was soon diagnosed with a tree nut allergy. When I was four, I was diagnosed with a peanut allergy as well. When I was around seven, I was able to successfully do the peanut challenge and I’m no longer allergic to peanuts, but as for tree nuts, I still am allergic to all of them.

FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) has always been a super helpful source in learning more about food allergies!
