Baby had blood test and has peanut allergy

[Em2122]

After having an allergic reaction to egg my baby had a blood test and came back at 37 for peanut. He has never had peanuts and is 11 months old, so I have no idea if he really does have an allergy, if it would be serious reaction or not. The letter from the doctor just said avoid all nuts. But i would rather he have some kind of food challenge as I am a very anxious parent. I am nervous about giving him any food which say ‘may contain nuts’ .
Does anyone know what happens now? With the egg we were told to do a ladder and that seems to work as he hasn’t had any more reactions but I know with nuts it can be lifelong

Well the good news is that everything is labelled these days which will make things much easier for both of you.

Have they given you an Epipen?

Is it tree nuts or ground nuts or both? Saying just nuts isn't that helpful as there are different types of nuts (peanuts aren't really nuts, they are legumes)

Peanuts was 35 , all other nuts were around 1-3 but dr said avoid all

No I think they only give them out after anaphylaxis

Sorry I'm coming to this late but egg is totally different to peanuts in terms of allergy, my DS has outgrown egg but still very allergic to peanuts although has recently tested fine for tree nuts.

If his test says he is allergic then he is and my son has epi pens without ever having had an anaphylactic shock (because he has asthma).

We have always avoided 'may contains'
