We're giving him peanut butter!!

It isn't that peanut allergy is particularly common, it is just that it is paricularly dangerous. Where as other allergies have a relatively low percentage of SERIOUS reactions, the reactions to a peanut allergy is MUCH more likely to be serious and even life-threatening.

Yea, remember that girl that died after kissing her boyfriend that had eaten peanuts or peanut butter.....

Good Luck! My brother had to go to the ER when they tried peanuts with him.

if he was going to have a severe reaction it would have happened by now YAY!!! My little guy can eat peanut butter!

Mimi would be in real trouble if she couldn't have peanut butter. I swear she has it at least once a day. Peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter on crackers, peanut butter on english muffins, Peanut butter on Eggos, Peanut butter and carrots, the list goes on and on.

It is the only way we can get her to eat veggies. Smother them in PB or cheese and then we have odds.

Though she'll now eat green beans of her own choice.

It turns out that wasn't why she died, it had nothing to do with her boyfriend's kiss. I now, of course, cannot find the follow-up story, but it didn't get nearly as much play in the press.

I feel like a whole new world of food is open to us now

[jackie]

good news!

I wonder why peanut butter allergies are so common now?

[Sirrahsim]

I have a feeling that Google has a lot to do with it I know there are a lot of people out there who might see a teeny tiny rash and determine for themselvers "OH! S/He's allergic!!"

just a thought though

Missy, I agree with you! I think people say, "Oh, I am allergic" when what they might mean is "Oh, I have a food sensitivity". I had a few people nearly freak out when they heard I was giving Jones PB at such a young age. It usually isn't an issue in an family without a history, and thankfully, it was not an issue.


Maresche- Jonah won't eat cold cheese! Or, mac n' cheese, come to think of it. He only eats grilled cheese. I wish I could get him to eat cheese, it just opens up one more area of food choices, and building. LOL, the list of what he eats hasn't really expanded past the initial five foods he ate- yogart, PB, grilled cheese, pizza and fruit.
