Is There Any Way To Get Rid Of My Allergy?

I have a severe peanut allergy. I can not touch or eat peanuts, tree nuts, any type of nuts. I am so tired of it! I can not eat anything! Are they going to make a shot or something?

    There is lots of research happening at the moment with peanut allergies but at present there’s no cure for it.
    There are lots and lots of things that you can eat!…in fact peanut is probably a ‘good’ allergy to have in that it has to be LABELLED as an ingredient by law-so its relatively easy to see straight away if you can or cant have something. My 7yo has had anaphylaxis to barley and sunflower-these dont have to be listed as such (can be listed as malt or vegetable oil or other combinations-you then need to phone manufacturers -you go for a meal somewhere and people dont know what oil they are cooking with as it only says ‘veg oil’ on the bottle etc).
    People are very aware of peanut allergy compared to many others. Its a pain but with organization and planning ahead its all very manageable.
    Is there a reason not to have tree nuts (if youre only allergic to peanuts?-cross contamination??)
    Im sure you must be very tired of it-it would be great just to eat something without reading every ingredient every time!-hopefully they have the desensitization process figured out soon.
    good luck-caz

    Pretty much if you’re allergic, you’re allergic, and you’ll have to accept that, try finding a healthy substitute but don’t max out on those or you can develop an allergy or sensitivity to that as well.. Try O.A.
    (overreaters anonymous) maybe or food addicts (F.A. ) for some support.

    Actully…If you are allergic just make sure you don’t have anything peanutbuttery or anything EVER around you and keep it out of you house 4 SURE!!Then just avoid it and you will be perfectly fine.I’m sure that you can go to the doctor’s and get a shot for alergies too though.
