With Nutella, I thinkbit's just hazelnuts in that plant. I could be wrong.

Coconut is a drupe and such a different animal. I don't know but could see how hazelnuts and macadamias could be in the same food family.

They're not.

I say coconut is still okay because she is consuming with no issues, peanut as well. 

But yes, hazelnuts (Nutella) and macadamia nuts.

I have been putting off the allergist visit because I wasn't ready to face facts.  Guess I have to now (at least stress of Christmas is almost over).

And while I don't like wishing allergies on my children, for the love of Pete and all that is holy, my brain can only handle so much.  No wheat, rye, barley and egg for DS1, no peanuts for DS2, no tree nuts for Em, no bananas or eggplant for me (along with my drug allergens).  My brain hurts...
DS1 - Wheat, rye, barley and egg
DS2 - peanuts
DD -  tree nuts, soy and sunflower
Me - bananas, eggplant, many drugs

I doubt it, with Nutella.  Pretty much as low as risk gets for XC.

 :grouphug: I have no calming words but I sure understand what you mean.

I'm to the point that I, one not really known for prayer, have caught myself more than once in earnest prayer that my youngest develops some sort of threshold for milk. Like 1 mL, please.  At this point I don't care if he can ever have barley or wheat.

Yup.  We no longer care if DD ever outgrows anything else.  Hell, we'll happily settle for halting the allergic march at this stage, tyvm.   Please, please, please let's just not see what is behind ANY of the doors.  To heck with any deal-making, I'll keep what we have.

Kind of wishing that we'd had the foresight to think that way ahead of that damned egg challenge.   :hiding:

Em pitched a rip-roaring fit because I wouldn't let her have peanuts in Granny's room.  I need to find a non tree nut cross contaminated brand (I posted).  Tears, red face, MAD.  Maybe I am taking a gamble on keeping peanuts in the diet but I do let her continue to have peanut butter and some other peanutty items. 

In the midst of the hazelnut debacle she did tell Grandpa that the shot in her leg hurt way less than in her toe but made her feel better immediately (and thankfully DS1 and DS2 were in there to hear that).  Not that I want to epi her but maybe having it later than sooner was better for her (and I mean later age wise, not delaying epi though I had little choice the night of the ER visit because I didn't have jrs on hand).  And it probably helped that she had a shot in her toe a few months prior so she could compare which hurt less.  Things to be grateful for??
