Yes! That is EXACTLY the point of a food challenge. You can 'pass' on the day of the challenge but the real test is being able to consume it on a regular basis for the next couple of weeks. My son developed anaphylaxis to his peanut challenge on day 5 (was having 2 tsp per day without issue but then had throat swelling)....but this is the whole point of the challenge as you cant say you are 'not allergic' unless you can demonstrate that you can eat it in large amounts on a regular basis.
Can you hide the peanut butter in something if you arent convinced its not a real reaction? (you can mix it into a chocolate paste or similar-put it into home made biscuits?)
Good luck-its a great one to know that youre not 'allergic' to any more as its everywhere and cross contaminates so much.
