peanut butter substitute?? & allergies for na

[Guest guest]

na,

My son is allergic to peanuts and cashews, so he only eats almond butter.

It's more expensive then the 2, but OH so good!!!!!!! I sub it into

recipes for PB cookies too.

You mentioned the dark circles under the eyes - that was LJ to a T, till

I had him allergy tested and removed ALL food he had even a class 1

allergy to. No more dark circles, he looks healthy now!!!!!!

my son has been on this diet for a little over 15 months and doing

great. I advise to have him allergy tested for foods so that you

are not replacing the gluten and casein with other offending foods.

I had IgE blood tests run. I know there is another kind and I really

don't know what the difference is, sorry. They took vials from a tiny

butterfly into LJ. He got tested for

eggwhite corn

orange

beef pork

shrimp

tomato barley

carrot

chicken codfish

crab

cow milk oat

peanut

rye soybean

strawberry

tuna bakers yeast

wheat

cashews chocolate

almond

carob bean rice

grape

sweet potato white potato

banana

pear

He also got tested for some environmental things (dust, mold, duck,

feathers, etc) and he came up allergic to cats and dogs.

My son LJ is on Medicaid. I took him to a regular allergist who wrote a

prescription for me to go across the street to the lab inside the

hospital and they ran the tests and sent the results to the allergist.

I eliminated ALL foods that he showed even the slightest reaction to,

thus allowing for the GFCF diet to work to its fullest potential.

I didn't do any testing with my son

prior to or now other than allergy testing. He gets a complete physical

every year with complete bloodwork done, and all is fine.
