Hi my DS1 has had positive SPT for peanuts and many tree nuts, results ranging from 6-8mm. The hospital did a component test and the arah2 test came back negative. I ate peanuts and tree nuts when pregnant and breastfeeding. When he was born he was constantly showing allergic symptoms such as red watery eyes, eczema and hives. However he was also allergic to wheat, milk, egg, rice and banana, all of which I was eating too so there is no way of knowing if he was reacting to nuts.
The hospital have referred him to another hospital to see about the possibility of a peanut challenge. The dietician said she is confident based on the negative test that he won't react to nuts.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation. I'm still very nervous about avoiding nuts as we have no epipens and just carry piriton.
