My 6-year-old daughter is allergic to cashews and pistachios. She has had reactions to both before, and her allergy testing for those was strongly positive.
She recently had testing for other tree nuts too:
- Walnut blood test was barely positive, but skin test was negative
- Pecan blood test was negative, but skin test had a very small reaction
- Allergist said walnut and pecan may actually be safe to try
We are nervous about introducing them and wanted to hear from other parents.
Has anyone had a child allergic to cashews/pistachios but NOT allergic to walnuts or pecans? Did your child pass a food challenge or tolerate them fine?
Just looking for others’ experiences before we decide what to do.
