Maybe: Coconut food allergy is not common, however some people with hazelnut and walnut allergy might also have an allergic reaction to coconut. If coconut previoulsy tolerated, it is likely that this cross reaction is not occurring. The most definitive response is obtained with a medically supervised food oral challenge.
