Question 1

what to do if i have whole egg, wheat, cow's milk, cashew, almond, shellfish mix, legume mix and soya bean allergy and i am diabet?

Accepted Answer

Dietitian: I would highly recommend  dietary consult, to ensure that you can develop a non allergic, diabetes friendly diet that will supply your daily needs.

Question 2

are salted cashews good for you?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Salted cashews are tasty and nuts have proven to be helpful for the arteries.  However they also are highly caloric and the salt may also be an issue, so just be sure they are calculated to be part of a healthy dietary intake.

Question 3

can eating salted cashew nuts make me waterlogged?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Salted nuts of any kind can increase your caloric intake and contribute to salt retention which is an underpinning of high blood pressure.  Your natural mechanisms to keep salt and water balance will keep you from getting "waterlogged" unless you have kidney disease.

Question 4

help please! is cashew and almond butter good for you?

Accepted Answer

Good taste: There is some nutritional benefit to the types of fat in nuts including almond and cashews. However, those fats are highly caloric and if you have a weight issue, you should adjust other caloric intake as these butters are higher in calories for a given volume than peanut butter.

Question 5

if my son is allergic to cashew nuts, how will he know what candy to eat?

Accepted Answer

Education: You will learn to read all labels and ingredients and look for tree nuts or cashews as ingredients or the disclaimer that says product was produced in a place that uses nuts, wheat, soy, etc. You will learn to ask a lot of questions!

Question 6

my left twsticle is oval shaped and my right is cashew shaped. is this ok? should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Testicles come in different shapes. As long as they have good blood supply and produce sperm for reproduction, those are the important functions. If you feel an irregularity or swelling in your testicle, the best way to sort it out is by ultrasound. See your doctor and you can discuss the need for one. All the best.

Question 7

i was recently told that i am allergic to all grains.  could it be a false positive reading due to a severe reaction i had to cashews a few weeks ago?

Accepted Answer

Probably false: It is not likely that you are allergic to all grains.  You may wish to consult an allergist before you eliminate grains from your diet.

Question 8

frequency of cashew allergies?

Accepted Answer

1%-2%: It is estimated that one-two percent of the U.S. Population has tree nut allergies which cashews belong to.

Question 9

can cashew nuts cause back pain?

Accepted Answer

Cashew pain: Foods are unlikely to cause any pain except in the abdomen. Nuts are usually a good source for fiber and essential nutrients, but too much of anything is not good anyway!

Question 10
