Re: Almond vs. Pecan Flour

[Guest guest]

I heard once that almonds are related to peaches but haven't really looked

into it. She was allergy tested (scratch test) & came up highly allergic to all

tree nuts except not almonds. She's also fine with peanuts (a legume).

You mentioned kids having issues with almonds; are those typical allergy

issues that I'd be able to tell right away? I have the other two boys & for

someday, the baby as well (although I eat almonds & he nurses).

Thanks,

Michele

What are the typical signs of salicylate sensitivity? I'm wondering

about my autistic son.

It's one of those things where many kids can tolerate them later

on.... after some gut healing has occurred. I'm sure you'd already

know if your daughter was sensitive to them.
