Blog Post CommentThanks so much for the info!

Blog Post Commentbe careful if the wrapper is ripped off half way- looks the same - be good if they put something on both sides since the 1.55oz is on the left. or if they made it 1,56 oz or something. that said very glad they are trying though to make it so different and they gave warning ! as opposed to mondelez nabisco chips ahoy

Blog Post Comment❤️Nutfreemama - I was at a Summit where a Hershey's rep talked about what they do to protect and inform the food allergy community with their labeling. That was where we learned about this new bar. That exact issue about the wrapper was raised, especially in light of the recent anaphylaxis fatality from the Chips Ahoy cookies with the label pulled back. The actual candy looks very different and you can see the colored pieces in the chocolate. But since it is the same size bar as the "safe"...

Blog Post Comment❤️Waiting for this! Already tried oit and slit.

Blog Post CommentArticles about OIT in the news has been the bane of my existence. Every single new person I meet and tell about my son’s food allergies brings up OIT like I’ve never heard of it. And they dismiss his allergies like if I would just do OIT for him, he would be magically cured. Implication is that I’m either an idiot or a bad mom. As you all know, there are a lot of caveats with these studies. And OIT is nowhere near ready for prime time, as in everyone being able to do it or be cured by it. My...

Blog Post CommentCarol, you're certainly NOT a bad mom ... and so very far from being an idiot! Not every treatment for ANY disorder, including food allergies, is right for every person. Each family has to figure out the benefits and risks that are unique to their own situation. You're being careful and doing your due diligence and making the best decisions for your family.

Blog Post CommentWe have been looking forward to this patch for years and my kid may be too old by the time it gets approved. So much safer than other peanut allergy treatments.

Blog Post Comment👍I have three children. The third has peanut allergy. I never gave the first two peanut until they were three and four years old. Not sure how I feel about this study.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Jennifer - not introducing early doesn't mean that your child will develop a peanut allergy. Early introduction may prevent the development of a peanut allergy in those children who have other risk factors. There is definitely more research that needs to be done.
-
Blog Post CommentInterested to see if anyone has information on two foods not related eg. peanuts and cotton seed oil. From what I have been reading cotton seed oil has the same weight and molecular structure as peanuts.
-
Blog Post CommentVery interesting information. It makes a lot of sense. My kids both have pollen allergies and both have had reactions/sensitivities to some fruits and pine nuts.

Blog Post CommentMy daughter is allergic to cow's milk, egg, peanut and tree nut. She is 5 years old and has eaten apples (raw or cooked) without any issue for years. Last spring/summer she started complaining of itchy mouth after eating apples (in raw form). She ate them all winter (raw or cooked) with no issue. This spring started with more intense complaints of itchy mouth and itchy skin (no visible hives) after eating raw apples. Her IgE blood work was positive for apples (lower value, yet positive).

Blog Post CommentHi Kara! That sounds like Oral Allergy Syndrome to me. My dd has OAS. I would consult with your allergist to see if cooked apples are okay or if you should avoid.
-
Blog Post CommentI am 43, and have some form of Oral Allergy Syndrome. I get small itchy blisters on my lips, roof of mouth, and down my throat, if I eat fresh fruit that you can eat the skin. This started about 8-9 years ago. I can't eat fresh apples, grapes, strawberries, peaches, etc. If you have to peel it, I can eat it. But I'm not allergic to the fruit itself. I can eat most frozen fruits, but not peaches. I believe its the pesticides used on the fruit. I've tried organic, and I get the same reaction.
-
Blog Post CommentMy son has OAS with apples. His reaction did not occur immediately, but rather almost 12 hours later. I took a picture of his reaction and showed his allergist. Allergist agreed it was definitely OAS. Apparently his reaction was NOT common in that it took so long to show. Just something to think about...
-
Blog Post CommentInteresting possibility Eskimomama. My daughter has OAS and reacts differently to different varieties of the same fruit. Sometimes she can eat more, sometimes very little before she feels the reaction. Since it's a cross reactivity to the pollens, it seems to correlate with when the pollen is high or her overall allergy load is high (d/t environmental issues in general). But she reacts to conventional and organic. She seems to be able to eat dried fruits but we haven't really tried frozen.
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Wow and THANKYOU I'm not mad or sooking. I starred getting itchy after eating fresh fruit and veg 7 years ago when pregnant, but midwife shurged it off as one of those things. And still have issues now. Had linked it to my reaction to pollens but that's all. So nice to see a reconised reason to what I feel.

Blog Post Comment❤️Katie, welcome to KFA. So glad the blog could be helpful to you. It's always nice to see things in writing that confirm our suspicions or solve mysteries!

Blog Post CommentEskimomama4, having any type of food or environmental reaction is inconvenient and frustrating to say the least. I hope it gives you some comfort to know it's actually very common with OAS to react to the skin of fruit but not the peeled fruit inside. Regarding peach, it's a different little beast. According to FARRP because the peach allergen is "heat-stable and highly concentrated under the fruit skin" they recommend avoidance all together. Meaning, sadly, you can't peel it and enjoy like...

Blog Post CommentEskimomama, another thought I had was regarding the geographic area in which you live. Chances are you live in an area where there is little or no (for example) birch pollen but the store bought varieties come from regions where there is. Sounds like you should stick to local fruits for sure. Just a thought.
