Q: Nut Allergy !
asked by: dancerbbex on June 15th, 2007

Well I have a severe nut allergy that has only been dicovered in about the last year! I have had several anayphalatic shocks over things that say - produced in a factory that uses nuts in the building. I was just wondering if there were any brands or foods that people with nut allergies can eat or advice on what people with nut allergy suffers eat at places like takeaways meals ?

Careful....
Read labels, and DON't eat out. If you simply say 'don't put nuts in my food', that isn't going to help. Alot of sauces and seasonings have peanut butter or peanut oil in them for flavor or even as a thickening agent. Nut allergy is easy if you read labels, everytime, and stay away from restaurants (for the most part). There are restaurants out there that can accomodate your allergy- I would call first. Google 'anaphalaxis network' and look it up. They have tips for your situation. Also, research peanut ingredient names, it is not always peanut or nut based names. Keep 2 epi-pens with you at all times and research! That is your best tool.

Actually I also have very sever nut allergies. I went to canada with my family and they are very cool about allergies they sell a candy called Mars Bars that are like twix except on the front of it there is a peanut with a red cross through it I order them and Kitkats from canada where all that nonsense about may contain and processed is not done. Just go to any supermarket store like walmart.ca or something and order some candy its great
