allergic to peanut butter...?

Question

I LOOOOOVE peanut butter! But: I am VERY minorly allergic to it. It is the best thing that ever hapenned to man-kind. I remeber one day when I was very little sitting down with full jar of peanut butter and a spoon and all day and eating the whole thing. I had egzema (however its spelled) on my arm and upper lip for a year. What can I possibly do??

Answer 1

To help with dryness, these creams, such as Eucerin, Nivea, Cethaphil Moisturizing Cream, or Lubriderm, should be used every day, even when the eczema isn't flaring-up!
Apply right after baths within 3 minutes (and after the steroid creams) to help trap in moisture and throughout the day as needed.

For severely dry skin, try using an ointment, such as Aquaphor.

Be patient. This is a chronic disease that usually improves and then flares-up again, but one which is usually easily managed with the above therapies.

Alternative lubricants that some parents find useful include Hydrolatum and Vanicream.

Many experts recommend avoiding moisturizing lotions, as they often don't work as well as a cream or ointment.

Answer 2

I have a friend who is severely allergic to nuts (like if she comes into the slightest contact with it she will die). Anyways, after going and talking to an allergy specialist (a type of doctor), she found out about this shot you can take. It is a pretty recent development, so right now the shot is very expensive (something like $1200 per shot), but how it works is that the patient can have one shot per month and (for my friend) it would allow her to eat two peanuts or something without dying. Therefore, if she came into contact with peanuts she wouldn't die. Now, for you it would probably be a bit different, since you can eat jars of peanut butter. Anyways, you should check this out with your doctors and, even if you decide that right now the shot is too expensive, in a couple of years time, once it is more developed, maybe you could consider it then. Either way you should talk to you doctor about it.

Place the peanuts on a well oiled baking sheet and bake 10 - 15 minutes or until golden , stirring several times. Place all but 1/4 cup of the peanuts in a blender with the wheat germ, salt and tahini. Blend until smooth. Chop the reserved peanuts roughly to desired size and add to the blended mixture. ***** NOTE ***** The peanuts can also be ground without roasting first. Mix the finely ground nuts with enough tahini to make a spreading consistency. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++...

You are self-diagnosing. you need to go see an allergist - it might be that you're not allergic to peanuts, but to a specific brand of peanut butter. If, after testing, it is determined that you're allergic, your allergist will advise you. The answer is probably that you should not eat peanuts or peanut butter as your reaction right now is topical, but could go anaphylactic in the future.

Peanut allergies are nothing to mess with.

Soynut butter is peanut free and the closest tasting I've found. Fine with jelly.

Answer 5

I have an allergy to Peanut Butter and have found SUNBUTTER to be an excellent alternative to it. However it is apprx 4.79 a jar & it comes in crunchy,creamy,honey roasted etc.... My husband can not even eat PB. I tested 3+ for my reaction on a skin prick test. I do NOT EVER eat anything Peanut Related or manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts due to cross-contamination, that leaves out my favorite candy bars

Answer 6

Try going to an allergist and having a sensitivity test done. You may have outgrown that allergy and have nothing to worry about unless you eat PB by the pound. Or he may find that you have a major critical allergy and should avoid it, even though it does taste great.

Have you tried Cashew butter or Walnut Nocci or Almond butter? They might be good alternatives if PB is your only problem.

Try Cashew Butter.I Heard Cashew Butter is the same as Peanut Butter.

Answer 9

Try a little natural peanut butter. It may be the additives that affect you. Natural will contain only peanuts, maybe salt.
