Peanut allergy nappy advice please

Hello, I am looking for some advice please?
I have a 3 month old baby boy. I am breastfeeding him, and i had eaten a peanut butter and jam wrap, and noticed he has a forceful explosive nappy, that was quite unlike his other nappies, it looked exactly like peanut butter, thick, brown and sticky.

I thought it was maybe a once off, maybe was due to having his injections etc, and then today ate another peanut butter wrap and the same nappy has happened tonight.

My question is: is this a symptom of a peanut allergy, as he has no other symptoms?

His sister has a dairy allergy and I have gone dairy free in the assumption he will be dairy free also. But this peanut reaction has me stumped.

The only other time he had a funny nappy was after I ate a Nomo dairy free caramel bar, I wonder if there is anything in there he is allergic too also?

Personally I wouldn't go DF just on a "what if". I had CMPA as a child but it didn't occur to me to go DF when BFing, just in case.

The nappies could be the injections, could be coincidental or could be an allergy. I don't think at this stage you can know, especially if he's settled and happy.
