so, we're doing great since the challenge.  DS still won't eat straight up peanut butter.  I'm not sure how much to push this.  I would like him to eat it sometimes just so I know for sure we aren't going to have any problems!!

He also hasn't eaten tree nuts and he has negative tests for them.  I'm not sure if i should just have him do a challenge at home (to make him more comfortable) or call the dr.

I am just so happy for both of you.

I was thinking about you last night....wondering if you were watching the game.  Food is such a BIG part of the Super Bowl, so. I wondered if you got to have some new food this year.

the dr didn't give us a specific direction about continuing to eat pb.  I don't want to push him.  he doesn't like it and I want to give him some time to settle down...that was really emotionally hard for him.  I bought little debbie pb wafer things. 
I've never LOVED pb or peanuts, but I always liked those.  Not so thick and strong.  I made white chocolate chip cookies yesterday. 
I think I would feel better if he ate something peanut butter again soon and weekly just for reality check.
Adding:  my name is total overkill at this point.  When I started with this group, ds was 4, we had shellfish, egg, soy, peanut, strawberry, tree nut, later added oas.  Now we're down to OAS and strawberries (I think tree nuts off list too).

So, while you're getting him all that peanut stuff, don't forget this for you:

Does current thinking remain that he needs to eat PN regularly so his body doesn't forget that it's ok, or has that school of thought changed?

mostly non peanut stuff that he couldn't have before like M&Ms, chocolate pretzels, kit kat etc.  I want him to eat some additional  pb stuff just for peace of mind.  was thinking something like little debbie bar where the pb isn't "thick" or somthing with chopped/whole pn.

Good for you, MFA, for getting through it, and him for having the courage to try. What wonderful news!

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.

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

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?
