DD2 reacted to peanut in her skin prick tests but has never been exposed to it directly. So we're avoiding it until her next lot of tests (around 2 or 3, I think), at which stage, if the figures have decreased they will suggest a peanut challenge in hospital.
That's all fine.
But I've been thinking recently about other nuts. I know there's a difference between peanuts and tree nuts. (I'll admit this has been prompted by thoughts of having to ice the Christmas cake without marzipan - as I am avoiding eating everything DD has allergies to).
So - have people just tried tree nuts? Or asked for skin prick tests on them? Her diet is limited enough as it is, and I'd hate to be avoiding large amounts of foods if we don't need to.
