 :yes: Definitely surreal.  Your ds has no more FAs, if I'm understanding right?

For awhile, ds2 asked me to take pictures of him eating each new food.  It was a whole new world opened before him.  I hope he enjoys all of the exploring!

he is allergic to strawberries.  the last time he had contact,  turned blood red, hives everywhere and really wheezy.
He has never eaten tree nuts and his tests have been inconsistent.   we went to dr. sicherer a few years ago, they were all negative on spt. although we had positive in the past.  Dr. is going to look through his file for RAST for tree nuts and let me know how to proceed. 
Has oral allergy syndrome, environmentals and asthma.
So, the big one is marked off the list at least.

The Doc said he's fine, but I noticed he put it in his hockey bag tonight.  Not sure if that was him being safe/sure or habit.  I would prefer he keep it with him awhile.   Still haven't eaten tree nuts either

So awesome! 

Imagine walking into a bakery and choosing *whatever.*  That is a dream my dd has. 

Though, with the strawberry allergy and uncertain on tree nuts, shouldn't he still carry epi?

How are you handling tree nuts and may contain tree nut warnings?

We think all tree nuts were negative in last spt and rast.  dr. was going to look through the file for the results.  I also have them, but need to dig for them.
I don't think he's allergic to tree nuts.  He once ate an entire box of cereal (in one or two sittings LOL) we missed the warning about almond flour. 
we just never bothered to deal with the other nuts due to cross contamination and because ds showed zero interest.
once the dr calls and says the tests are negative, we'll find out if ok to try at home or not.  He used to be positive for them, but we believe the spt was a cross reactive positive as he has a lot of environmental allergies.
