r/nutallergy

Hello, I'm planning a trip to London and trying to find a high tea that is not free with no cross-contamination. I've contacted several hotels who said that they cannot wipe services and therefore make it nut free. At this point I'm kind of out of ideas so I figured that I would come here. I've posted on the London subreddit and figured I would try posting here. Another person in our group has a group now but they are willing to skip tea

I was talking with my family last night and somehow walnuts got brought up. I mentioned that they're not my favorite because they're spicy. I don't have allergies, not even pollen or seasonal ones. No one in my family has food allergies that I know of. I got allergy tested in December and I didn't react to anything, it was one of the scratch tests. I struggle with sensory stuff and don't really know how to describe it other than spicy. I have a doctor appointment this week, should I bring this up?

Hi, my baby had a positive skin prick test for peanuts but passed an oral challenge in the doctor’s office. How worried would you be about a future reaction/anaphylaxis? The allergist said baby’s positive skin prick means sensitivity meaning baby has IgE antibodies (no blood test was done) and high risk for allergy, especially since baby has eczema. She also said to give peanut butter twice a week to maintain tolerance and prevent future reactions, but didn’t give a clear answer to how long we need to do this. Baby was also prescribed an epipen just in case but unsure how long we need to keep carrying one. At what point can you say peanuts are no longer a concern and no longer need to give weekly to maintain tolerance or no longer need epipen? Do you retest later on to confirm no longer has antibodies or skin prick reaction, or is this just a forever thing? Baby has had peanut butter 4 times within the 3 weeks after the oral food challenge and no reaction so far (about 1 tbsp each time).

Skin prick results -
Histamine control: 7x25
Peanut: 5x7
No reaction to any other tested allergens.
