Sorry I was only trying to help you… I’ll be quite now. 😶
Hi Cheryl, I didn't expect at 50 to be told off! I have tried doing everything dietitian has told me, has my diet stripped and nothing reintroduced but feel constantly fed up, depressed and saddened by my diet. Food has become my enemy. I find no pleasure in food have to watch every foodstuff and am just a little fed up. I have had so much conflicting information. Can you at least understand this?:
I recommend reading The Complete Guide to Food Allergies in adults snd children. Yes peanuts are legumes and grown in the ground… Hazel nuts, pecans, cashews, are grow on trees. Get a food allergy test ask to be tested for peanuts snd tree nuts.
Yes, hazelnuts are tree nuts for sure. We have an allergy to them in this household as well. Also, my experience as been you have to be your own advocate. If you want a peanut test, then ask for it. If you want to know what tree nut specifically you are allergic to, come into your allergy visit with a list of each and every tree nut you want tested. Unfortunately, the healthcare system is over taxed, with each healthcare provider caring for many in a day. YOU have to ask for what you want and need, Happy to chat more about this if you have any questions.
Not surprised by what you said surprised that allergy testing at hospital didn't test for peanuts. Do you know what hazelnuts are?
