When I was a baby I reacted to peanut butter, and then when I was 5 years old (16 years ago!) I experienced an allergic reaction to a sesame seed roll while on a holiday in Portugal. After this reaction to sesame, I’ve had several tests done and now carry epipens with me wherever I go for use in the event of a reaction. I’ve been very cautious in the way that I live after these experiences, and have been very lucky not to have had any further reactions.

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.
