Do any of u have a nut allergy???


i no lots of ppl in th world has allergies but i want to no what it feels lyk for someone else

My toddler has a severe allergy to certain tree nuts and is allergic to peanuts. A small bite of pastry containing a trace amount of tree nuts landed us a visit to the ER and nearly killed her. We didn't know at the time about her allergy. She had eaten Reeses PB cups in the past w/o incident. Life has changed and her allergy has become a part of our daily lifestyle. Every package has to be read,her school is aware and quite vigilant about protecting the allergic children. We carry Benadryl and an EpiPen. When we eat out,we constantly have to tell servers about her allergy and we need to watch for cross contamination on utensils and grills,etc. Family members are all aware of her allergy and most are considerate about taking necessary precautions. Food that may contain nuts or processed on shared equipment is not permitted in our home.

Those are the basics. At age 3,she is as educated as she can be. She comprehends what the ramifications can be if she eats food with nuts. She also know to ask when presented with a new food or food from someone else...she says "No nuts!!??"

I wonder how many people starving in the Sudan have a nut allergy or are lactose intollerant for that matter.

Get what I'm saying?

i have a nut allergy it aint all that bad i just have to look at the labels wen i am buying food and just dont eat them i aint that severe thank god but it does restrict u a bit but i learnt to live wit it.

My son has a nut allergy and it is a living nightmare for him

Everything you seem to buy has a disclaimer written on it saying may contain traces of nuts......

If he eats nuts touches them he could die he has to carry an adrenaline shot around with him just in case....

i do not have any allergies but i treated someone who had a allergy to food their throat swelled up restricting their breathin they turned red then blue as they gasped for air lucky for them they carried medicine for it which reversed the effects slowly

my ex was allergic to nuts and dairy and im allergic to wheat and a vegetarian so it was great fun going out for a meal!!ha ha!i once cooked us dinner..dairy free and everything..pasta and pesto sauce but did not realise it had nuts in..his whole mouth had swollen up..felt so bad!!

My friend has a nut allergy so we have to be really careful when near her ..... it can be really dangerous and me and my other mates have to make sure we havent gone anywhere near peanuts or any type of nuts if were going to see our friend as she swells up and it can be very scary . She has to carry an epidural Pen ( A Epi Pen) so if she does swell up and go into an attack me or one of my mates can inject her which clams her system down and brings her back to normal. When a friend goes into an attack for an allergy it is inceedingly frightening but you have to stay calm ... if in doubt call an ambulance !

My boss is a nut...i definitely have an allergy to him!!

yes but I married her so must stick to her.............

i have a friend has almond nut allergy and that's pretty sad haha

my son is allergic to peanuts and one of his best friends is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. it is just one of those things you get used to living with. as long as nuts are not in our house, my son is safe.
