nell is allergic to most tree nuts and to peanuts.
when mom was here in early december i gave nell some cranberry pecan bread. shortly thereafter she had hives.
the dr. suspected a tree nut allergy and referred us to an allergist.
monday i took nell in and they did the scratch test for nuts.
she appeared to be allergic to the filbert (hazelnut), pistachio, not the english walnut, not coconut, was allergic to peanut, cashew and interestingly enough did not have a strong reaction to the pecan...i can not remember any of the others that were tested.
anyway, so far it has not changed much for us. we are working toward making the house nut free so that there is less chance of her getting a hold of something by accident that one of us leaves about. most of the things she was eating are fine. we hope that since we found out so early that she will just grow up nut free and be none the wiser. we'll see.
anyway. here are some pictures.
nell just after a bath. her hair is super curly!
