My 8 month DS has just been diagnosed with allergies - milk, soya, egg yolk and peanut.
The peanut one is freaking me out a bit. His RAST score was 3.5 and the consultant said that he wouldn't have an anaphylactic reaction with that score.
But my GP said that there isn't a strong correlation between RAST score a type of reaction.
The consultant was reassuring that he wouldn't have a really severe reaction, but I'm worried that might not be correct. Am I being neurotic?
What have others found? I was advised to avoid peanuts (obviously) - should I also avoid all those products which say 'may contain traces of nut' or 'made in a factory which handles nuts'??
