DH had a reaction to an open dish with almonds the other day and spent the rest of the night in a Benadryl stupor..... allergies stink. Thank goodness for epinephrine and hospitals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705246 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 17:42:09 +0000 Adira 2705246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Seriously!

Our allergist told us to avoid hummus and sesame for now and we'll most likely do testing next week to try to confirm the allergy.</p> <p>Unfortunately, Benadryl didn't really work, so now we're at the ER. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705241 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 17:37:55 +0000 Cole 2705241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has a very severe peanut allergy and is also allergic to all legumes (beans of all types fall in this category.) The good news is the allergy to legumes is less severe than the peanut but it still eliminates a lot of food. It's definitely possible it's the sesame though, it's one of the top ten allergens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705237 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 17:29:00 +0000 DesertDreams88 2705237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard it can be a related issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705235 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 17:26:26 +0000 Pancakes 2705235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: It could be chickpea but more likely sesame. My DD has a peanut allergy and reacted to hummus as well. The last lab we went to completely screwed up her results (as in, reported all kinds of things the doctor didn't order and didn't report what he did order), and I haven't been in a hurry to get her blood drawn again so we are still waiting to find out. She did react to the sesame on the skin prick test but not chickpea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705220 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 17:04:44 +0000 hummusgirl 2705220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom's allergic to peanuts, chickpeas, sesame, lentils, and pine nuts. I'm sorry, I can't imagine how hard it must be to deal with food allergies. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705210 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:47:46 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2705210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's daughter has a seed and nut allergy which includes hummus, often there is sesame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705203 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:33:25 +0000 Truth Bombs 2705203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that tahini is more likely to be the culprit than the chickpeas themselves, but I'm sure your allergist can give you some color on the reaction and what likely caused it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705196 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:26:23 +0000 Pollywog 2705196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I was told no legumes until a suspected peanut allergy was confirmed. But it could also be the sesame </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705193 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:18:26 +0000 Andrea 2705193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, what @nana87 said. DD1 is allergic to peanuts and our allergist had us try hummus to see if there would be a reaction. She had none. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705185 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:02:08 +0000 nana87 2705185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might not be the chickpeas but something else in the hummus-- I have a good friend who is allergic to sesame who can't eat hummus (tahini in hummus is made from sesame paste) or some hummus (im thinking of the brand sabra) might have pine nuts in it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-allergy-chickpea-issue#post-2705181 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 15:53:51 +0000 Adira 2705181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got the call that Logan, who has peanut and tree nut allergies, had an allergic reaction after eating crackers and hummus. I'm not sure if he's ever had hummus before or not, but it's made from chickpeas, which is a legume, like peanuts. Has anyone heard of a kid being allergic to chickpeas?? </p>
