And try not to read it with a 7-year-old and DH trying to talk to you at the same time. Smiley (While it's nice to sometimes have the company and help when grocery shopping, it really does make the trip longer if I have to stop what I was doing and start over. Smiley )

I've been lucky with pharmacists. One a couple of years ago when dropping of a prescription for DD asked about allergies to medications and I said “no just to foods” and told him which ones. He said that there are some medications that contain peanut oil. We were still less than a year into our PA journey and that had not crossed my mind at the time.

So, I shouldn't be surprised, but really? Peanut oil in meds?! Does anyone have any examples? I've never asked; bad assumption on my part. Here I think I've got it all down, but since I'd never heard of any before, I just didn't think to ask. We've never had problems, fortunately.

I believe that some forms of progesterone have peanut oil in them.

This would be more of a problem for Women who are trying to conceive then for children.

There's an ear drop with peanut oil in it. I can't remember the name now but I posted about it a week or so ago in the section about things where you wouldn't expect peanut to be.

I think some pre-natal vitamins might have peanut oil too. I really haven't investigated which ones have peanut oil. I just make sure I let the pharmacy know about all of DD's allergies.

Our Sara Lee Heart HEalthy Whole Wheat Bread just added a milk product to the bread that we eat on a daily basis - so glad I followed my own advice and double check the labels before I open and serve any food in the house

I have had a lot of trouble with the pharmacy too, I'm allergic to wheat and soy and they are in several medications. What I have discovered is that most meds have the inactive and active ingredients listed somewhere on the packet of info that comes with the medication (you really have to look hard in all that tiny font to find it, but it is usually there), so I ask the pharmacist if I can read it each time, he usually makes a HUGE deal about it, but each time I remind him it is do or die, like was said before. We have to be willing to stand up to the pharmaidiots out there.

Nitro Glycerine has peanut oil in it.

OK, you totally intrigued me with the Nitro comment--and probably put me on several watch lists with the search I just did Smiley Smiley

I won't post another place that gave amounts of ingredients. They (Ironically a branch of the Chicago historical society mafia section) gave 'oil' as a stabilizer--it did not say peanut, but I guess it could be--at the point it is activated, really a non-issue. Also don't see anyone in our family handling any not just added for the government guy now reading my posts-see above comment. Smiley

Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

One of the "eye health" vitamins- I think its "occuvite" or something similar- sold over the counter- has peanut oil listed in the ingredients.
