RAST results

The RAST for nuts panel came back today.

In a nutshell the bad nuts are: Pecans, Cashews, Pistachios and Walnuts. Quentin is definitely allergic to those nuts. The nuts that are ok are: peanuts, Brazil nuts, coconuts, almonds and hazelnuts.

We still have to be extremely cautious with any baked goods or mixed nut products. Cookies and candies and processed food that are processed on the same lines or packaged together can still be dangerous. For example, a jar of Plantar's party mix should still be avoided even if we give him only the good nuts because they are in the jar with the bad nuts. Baked cookies, cakes and snack items processed in the same line with the bad nuts are also to be avoided.

We're also to continue to stay away from shrimp and shellfish. We'll have to test him again to Rast for those items but for now we'll just avoid shellfish all together.
