I've never even tried them. I LOVE peanut butter, but my son is allergic to peanuts so we keep are home peanut free. I had several offers to taste one, but I've declined so I wouldn't fall in love and be tempted to stock up on them!smileys/smiley36.gif

maybe they will be on special next month!!
Cassandra I'm sorry your son is allergic to peanuts thats awful!! I try to be careful around my son he's only 17 mos old and I don't know if he is allergic or not. I'm not ready to find out so no peanut productsfor him!! I always wash my hands and dont kiss on him after I have had anything with peanuts in it.

thank you, it was a BIG adjustment! My son ate pb+j from 2.5 to4 years old, no problem, then all of a sudden one day a few months after he turned 4... BAM!! one day while eating a pb+j he immediately started breaking out in hives around his mouth. I gave him an adult dose of benadryl, called the doctor and he called in a prescription for an epi-pen and made an apointment for the next day at an allergist, sure enough the scratch test results from a prick of a needle a welt the size of a half dollar almost instanteously. My son had already had a history of allergies, when he got a drop of melon juice on his skin he broke out with hives, or got licked by an animal- even a deer at the petting zoo- hives immediately! Once his ear looked like a cauliflower within minutes after a friends bulldog licked his ear. So we were already dealing with allergies and asthma and that's why I gave him 4 tsp because that's how much he needed all the other times he had hives as bad. Dr said if I didn't give him that mega dose he may have gone into full anaphylactic shock... and that is what we have to be careful of to this day.

Oh my goodness!! poor baby!! Wow, what a HUGE adjustment and sacrifice you have had to make! Thatwould make me one paranoid Mom! I don't know how you do it! I would be so afraid to let him out of the house, but then again you still want him to have a normal childhood.I know its got to be rough!
Bless you and your family!!
Bless you and your family!!

awww, thank you! smileys/smiley9.gif
we've become used to it, just part of our lives, used to it, but never complacent.
actually, in our tiny school district (one elementary school), another boy in my sons first grade and a boy in fifth grade have these severe peanut allergies, and we found out recently that our local ambulance does NOT carry epi-pens and it's a 15 minute ride to the nearest hospital, so we are starting a fight to get that changed. Unreal, isn't it?smileys/smiley7.gif

Our daughter is allergic to nuts too & we too have no food in our house with nuts in it (peanuts and tree nuts). Bringing the re9 products in to try was about the closest thing I have done to breaking our rules since someproducts have nutoils in them. She is loving the body lotion (ABC) though and it has been good for her eczema.Edited by: sportsmom

We have several private ambulance services, plus the fire dept. responds to everything too and everyone that I have checked out, does indeed have them, plus the Jr. size epipens as well.

cassandra....just curious what causes your son to break out from the animals? I do the same thing, usually around my mouth...itchiness and redness and hives. Did you ever find out what causes this?

he's grown out of it in the past year or so, he is 7 now...
anytime he would get licked by any animal he would immediately break out in hives, first locally then within a matter of minutes it would spreadover his body and he would need an adult dose of benadryl to clear it, this is when he was 1.5 years old!
never knew "what" was in the animal saliva though that caused this, an enzyme, or a protein? not sure, but was definitely intriguing to say the least, not to mention extremely scary.
