We received Leo's results from his blood test. Unfortunately he is still allergic to peanuts, sesame, and fish that swim (not to be mistaken for shell fish). There are some tree nuts he can try in the hospital. I don't care enough to spend money to have him eat a nut under the watchful eye of a doctor. There are also some we could try at home: cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and pecans. It's a catch 22 really because most tree nuts are processed with other tree nuts or peanuts, therefore he can't eat them.
We did find that the "Wonderful" company processes each of their nuts in different plants to avoid cross contamination. So we went with those. It's a bigger process than eat them and go. I won't go into details. The whole process ended with him throwing up his entire breakfast because he couldn't handle the texture of the nuts. Luckily no breathing issues or hives right??
Needless to say, we will continue being a nut free family. I didn't say we weren't nuts........haha. Okay, sorry bad joke.
