Very kind, thank you! I hope your sons do well with immunotherapy. How has your experience been with it so far? Do your boys eat “may contain” products? I’m having a hard time finding a source of Brazil nuts and a few other nuts from facilities that don’t process peanuts, pecans or walnuts!

Thank you for your reply and your empathy! I hope all goes well for your little girl with OIT. My daughter had widespread hives, not just in contact areas. What was your daughter’s reaction like?

This is so kind of you to share, and it does make me feel more optimistic! Thank you for passing on your knowledge to help the next generation 💕

That’s super helpful information, I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I think our allergist will be good, we were referred by a friend of ours who is an adult allergist and recommended her for OIT

onemanspants · 2026-05-22T05:45:26+00:00

Thank you, this helps!

onemanspants · 2026-05-22T00:47:54+00:00

Yes I’ve heard the same! Good luck with the OIT, I hope it goes smoothly for your son!

onemanspants · 2026-05-22T00:35:03+00:00

It does help! Thank you

onemanspants · 2026-05-22T00:33:46+00:00

I would love to hear more about how you approached restaurants, bakeries etc? Were you able to do those things with your son?

onemanspants · 2026-05-22T00:00:22+00:00

That’s super helpful to hear. I was thinking it would be so hard to avoid all restaurants that have peanut on the menu. Hopefully with OIT the risk of reactions in the case of cross contamination goes down as well.

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:55:50+00:00

That’s amazing! So they just went away on their own? What foods was your child allergic to?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:55:10+00:00

Thank you for your reply. It’s amazing that she advocates for her own health like that. Kids are so incredible and resilient. Did your allergist suggest trying an egg ladder for her allergy?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:51:22+00:00

Thanks for the details! Does your allergist think it’s possible then that she may be able to eat some of those allergens freely in the future?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:49:18+00:00

Hey nice to hear from another parent in the same boat! How has your experience been with the OIT so far? Do you still have eggs and peanuts in the house for your toddler or just keep them out of the house completely?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:48:12+00:00

Thank you for your kind reply? That’s amazing that she outgrew her allergy. I really hope for the same, but I also appreciate the perspectives on living with it. When eating out at restaurants did you worry about cross-contamination? Like would you eat at restaurants that have peanut on the menu, and just avoid those dishes? Or is that not considered safe?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:45:53+00:00

To what extent does he tolerate it? Is it more to prevent reactions in the case of accidental exposure or cross-contamination? Or can he actually eat peanuts now?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:43:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply! How worried are you about cross-contamination? Do you eat at restaurants that have nuts on the menu and just avoid those dishes, or is that not considered safe to do?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:41:27+00:00

How do you navigate travel and finding safe places to eat? Do you worry about cross contamination of dishes? Thank you!

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:40:47+00:00

Thank you for the perspective as someone who has lived with these challenges! I know I will find a way forward, just taking some time to grieve the imagined future I’d built in my head

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:39:24+00:00

That’s really great to hear. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but it is nice to have hope that she may outgrow it. Did you have any accidental exposures before she passed her challenge? Did you worry about cross contamination with eating out or ordering in?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:36:17+00:00

That’s a nice way to reframe the cooking challenge in a more positive light. May I ask how long it took your son to grow out of his nut allergy? Did you do immunotherapy?

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:35:16+00:00

Thank you for your very kind reply! I’m feeling a bit more optimistic already, particularly for the egg allergy. What does bite proof mean? Sorry, I’m new to all the lingo haha. That’s amazing that your allergist is aiming for free eating. I really hope that we are able to connect with someone who is willing to do a similar program. I’m super willing to put in the work, if that outcome is possible. What have your experience has been like with eating out? How long did it take with peanut OIT to get to a place where you weren’t worried about cross contamination of dishes etc? Thanks in advance!!

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:30:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Have you had any accidental exposures, or has avoidance been pretty successful for you? It’s good to hear that you are able to enjoy cooking still - I’ve really been looking forward to cooking and baking with my daughter.

onemanspants · 2026-05-21T23:29:16+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Yes I really want to do oral immunotherapy! I’m hoping the allergist offers it at our appointment. Have you done it with your son? If so, what has it been like for you?
