How do i kno if im allergic to nuts?

Nut Allergy: Allergies manifest in all different manners, from the simple rash, itch, hives, cough, runny nose to more severe of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swelling of body parts, shortness of breath and even anaphylaxis. You really should see an allergist for testing, if appropriate.

Get tested: You can discuss with your allergist your symptoms and he or she can work you up.

Symptoms & testing: You are not allergic to nuts (or any other food) if you have a positive skin or blood test to that food but have no symptoms when you eat the food. Symptoms of food allergy occurring within 2 hours of eating include mouth itching & swelling, hives anywhere, nausea & vomiting after eating a specific food, difficulty breathing & anaphylaxis. If any of these things occur see an allergist for testing.

Symptoms: Allergy to tree nuts and any food for that matter is a clinical diagnosis that is confirmed by skin testing and / or blood testing. As was discussed in another post a skin test or blood test does not diagnose a allergy in the absence of clinical symptoms ( with the exception of some very unique cases). See you doctor for clarification.
