I eliminated nuts for about 6 months but I don't think it was necessary in retrospect. I also have family history, my brother is allergic to peanuts & tree nuts as well.

Sunflower seed butter was a lifesaver at the time!

At the time it seemed easier to just cut everything possible out (bc just doing D/S wasn't working) but in retrospect I wish I hadn't done it that way because I found it hard to add stuff back in once I had cut it out.

@desertdreams88 Since I wasn't directly comparing the two, I honestly thought it tasted better! I think it's sweeter than regular PB.

With both kids I had to cut out dairy, soy, and almonds. Other nuts (and peanuts!) are fine. Eggs were fine for both as well. I miss almonds more than anything else!

@DesertDreams88: @catlady: Idk if there are any near you, but the sn butter is way cheaper at Trader Joe's than any other place I've found!

I'm very surprised by your ped's suggestion. Soy is more common than eggs or nuts (though given that your LO has a family history of nut allergies that seems more reasonable). This is the order given by both my ped and my lo's GI doc: dairy and soy, if that doesn't work, then eggs, gluten, fish and nuts, if that doesn't work then beef, if that doesn't work, then rice. When you cut the next level, you don't add back the previous level. You can't add back until you get a healthy baseline. I'm on beef right now. If I have to cut rice I essentially won't eat.... But breastfeeding is really important to me so I'm making it work for now. Luckily LO isn't super miserable or anything while we're working through it. He's happy and gaining weight, but has mucusy stools, nasal congestion, and very mild rashes behind his knees

We have no family history of allergies. My LO showed signs of MSPI and we cut out dairy and soy, which fixed the problem. I never tried cutting out egg or nuts. She grew out of her intolerance by 15 months and is now only allergic to avocado at 22 mo.
