peanuts and tree nuts. she went through a trial at northwestern about 5 years ago where they got her tolerance to peanuts up. she's still allergic, but she at least she won't die if she inadvertently eats something with peanuts. but they can't get her in a trial for pistachios or cashews yet because she's still off-the-charts allergic.tragabigzanda wrote:is she allergic to all nuts?Chris_H_2 wrote:pistachio cross contamination sent my girl to the hospital about 2 months ago, you f'n monster.tragabigzanda wrote:Pistachios might be the perfect food for people in recovery.
