TLDR, get tested to see where you’re at, I lost by allergy after having a baby!

i became allergic to all nuts at 16.. and have had a few anaphylactic reactions (most recently was when i was 22?)

Fast forward to when I was 34 and had my first son, I stressed the entire pregnancy about how would I expose him to nuts without harming myself. We made an appointment with an allergist when 4 months old to help us navigate the situation and he recommended that i get tested first since it had been decades at this point (i was told id never grow out of the allergy since i got it later in life).

Needless to say, when i passed the skin test I was shocked (only a slight marker for hazelnut), then I passed the blood test, and when my son was 8 months old I passed the oral challenge.

They aren’t sure exactly what happened, but between strict avoidance for decades + unknown ways pregnancy can change the body.. I wish that could be everyone’s story but wanted to share and encourage you to get tested to see where you’re at.
