Broad beans and peanut allergy

3 replies

My dd2 has a severe peanut allergy and has also reacted in the past to tomato, melon and pineapple. Yesterday, she ate a raw broad bean for the first time. About 30 seconds later she was sick. She did not appear to have an upset stomach and went on to eat her supper fine. However, she did not develop any other allergy symptoms e.g. hives, rashes etc. Do you think I should be wary of broad beans in the future? I know if she didn't have a peanut allergy, I would just put it down as "one of those things" and it wouldn't allergy wouldn't even occur to me, but adverse reactions to any food now makes me apprehensive. What do you think?

Thanks. She's 2 1/2 and so far has managed to avoid any major reactions.

I'd say steer clear of raw peas, raw broad beans etc. They are legumes, like peanuts. I have reacted to raw peas and so has DD2, who is also apparently allergic to peanuts.

Just cook them properly and they should be ok to eat though.
