Specializes in Pediatrics

No : If you're allergic to peanuts you're allergic to whatever brand or form of peanuts you use. Some :organic" brands may have other ingredients or substances (such as pollens) that are causing your symptoms. Try to stick with brands and forms you have used that were tolerated.
