For all the nuts that have component testing available, he tested positive for all of the components that indicate a systemic reaction. All his numbers are on the low side and she fully admits to being a conservative allergist which I am fine with (Walnut being around 7, Almond was maybe .8). She said we can test again in a couple years to see if anything changes...who knows what the future holds since just a few years ago there was no component testing.
If I want to push for food challenges, we'd probably need to find an allergist in Boston...but for now, we are happy with our allergist.
