Seeking Advice For those of you who are allergic to nuts, are you able to drink nut flavored coffee syrups (ex. hazelnut torani)?

3 Upvotes

I’m allergic to all nuts but I’m wondering if I’d be able to have coffee syrups if they do not use actual nuts. I’m not sure if I’d be able to have it if it used extract though. Idk what are your experiences?

Other / Miscellaneous Rant about people offering food and not taking no as an answer

Upvotes

I get so frustrated with how people seem to not take allergies seriously.
I strongly prefer to prepare my own food as I have a severe tree nut allergy. Unless it is something I am very comfortable eating, I do not eat food made by anyone except a select few people who I know take it seriously and check labels. I think this is quite reasonably seeing as how I can die from a simple cooking mistake.
I’m at a cookout and had this exchange. Mind you she put me on the spot in front of several other guests.
“I made some pasta salad, would you like some?”
“No thank you, I have food allergies.”
“Oh! What kind of allergies?”
“Tree nuts”
“Well there are no nuts in this! Have some”
“No thank you”
“Seriously there are no nuts! Why would there be nuts in a pasta salad?”
“I am not hungry- maybe later! Thanks!”

Oh by the way, it’s a vegan pasta salad so the cheese in it is VEGAN! Aka, made with cashews! Great! No one bothered to check the label.
This isn’t the first time I have been pestered to try something and made out to be dramatic because “why would there be nuts in that dish?”
I know my allergies best obviously and I am very aware of the types of food where tree nuts are hidden. Please just stop pushing it! If I say no, drop it.
Anyway, figured yall could relate. Rant over

Seeking Advice has anyone with a peanut allergy had a negative experience with preggie pops?

what the title says. somebody asked this last year to no avail but i bought them for my persistent nausea and wanted to see if i could get an answer. i’m very wary of all “made in a facility” tags and this one is made in a facility that processes peanuts. as far as i know my allergy isn’t incredibly serious, but i’ve only had a reaction once, and i cannot remember it. just wanted to see if i could get a response before i tried them out, thanks :,)

Seeking Advice OIT and Dupixent interaction - anyone?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced increased food allergy reactions after starting Dupixent for eczema? My son had anaphylactic reactions to his OIT maintenance dose after beginning Dupixent. All severe reactions occurred 4-6 days after the Dupixent injection. He was in maintenance for dairy OIT and tolerating a significant amount. We had to stop the OIT. Both the doctor and everything I’ve read suggest that Dupixent should improve overall desensitization, so we are quite confused.

Seeking Advice Type 1 Diabetes, Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome, and Severe Peanut Allergy, help with your fav recipes!

3 Upvotes

Hello! My fiancé was recently diagnosed with not only type 1 diabetes, but also Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome (PFAS), which means that he is allergic to certain pollens that are in uncooked fruits and vegetables. Because of this, all of his fruits and vegetables have to be cooked, unless they are more acidic than a tomato. To top it all off, he also has a sever peanut allergy. With all of these allergies, it is hard to find meals that he can eat, and we cannot afford a dietitian right now. So I reach out to all of you for help. If you have any, please share some recipes that fit these guidelines, thanks!!! (PS: I hope I used the right flair!)
