Anybody got rid of tree nut allergies?

baby at 5 mths had bad peanut and almond allergies, that's where they stopped testing and just banned her from all nuts. Now she's 16 mths, has outgrown soy and egg allergie, still allergic to dairy (skin test showed reaction, but I think she's gotten much better, sneaks her sisters cheddar snacks with no ill effects). So, am quite hopefull she's outgrowing things- allergist said she's got a 20% chance of outgrowing peanuts, which, as is most dangerous, would be just the best. Any hope?

DS (now 8) outgrew dairy, peanuts and is now on almonds, we test for hazlenuts and walnuts next - seems he'll always be allergc to 'posh' nuts though (luckily for me I'm a total chav...)

She's still very little you know. Seems like you're doing well and are on top of things. It's a bit of a long haul this allery thing but don't give up!
good luck!

I read about the peanut desensitation, hopefully that'll be an option.

She had blood work done at 4-5 mths, and reacted to my eating nuts when I nursed her. They didn't even skin test her since, as she was too allergic. Hm. So not good then?

DS is now 15 and outgrew peanuts and almonds ie he can eat them regularly without any reaction.
His worst was hazlenuts and seseme seeds which I don't think he has outgrown.

DS never had skin tests, only RAST.

It is really nice to read that some kids did outgrow them. I'll keep my fingers crossed, she seems anway to be getting rid of her other allergies.
