Food Allergies Treatment

Question by person1500: If you have a tree nut allergy, does it mean you are also allergic to peanuts?
After i had a reaction to a brazilian nut, my doctors suggested i dont eat peanuts along with tree nuts. i happen to like peanuts and have eaten them all my life. do i really have to give them up?

Peanuts don’t grow on trees. You may not actually have an allergy to all tree nuts either. I think your doctor is being overly cautious. Having said that, I believe that you might be wise to go to a specialist and discover exactly how broad your allergy is. That way you can know for sure how to be safe.

I have just learned that my 6 month old daughter is allergic to milk (formula) I have switched her to soy formula and she is already so much better. Is soy formula safe to use? I have found conflicting information on this. Should I also assume she is allergic to eggs and nuts and avoid introducing them until she’s 3? (for our other daughter we introduced nuts and eggs at 12 months with no problems)
She is not lactose intolerant, we tried that first, she is allergic to the protein in milk.

On advice from our dr we have changed his formula to a soy based one and his symptoms have all cleared, will this mean that he will have an allergy to cows milk/dairy products in later life?
