Why? Many people who have reactions to nuts can have coconut just fine. I’m one of them. He drank huge amounts of milk everyday, and now can’t have dairy, oat milk, soy milk, and probably all nut milks. Poor thing. It’s his last option and definitely worth experimenting with IMO. Also consider a lot of “milks” have gums and thickeners that he could be adverse to instead. I feel not so great with some of them, which is why I suggested the least amount of ingredients. I hope it works for him. The idea of no cereal as a kid makes me sad. My dd has never had cereal. I guess I don't see cereal as some big deal though. Everyone I know who is allergic to nuts also have issues with coconut, be it tummy issues, eczema, hives, or full on severe reaction at some point. My dd has been allergic to all nuts since age 2. At age 13 she had a severe reaction to coconut. Perhaps the difference lies in people who have true nut allergies vs intolerance.

Looks like he can still have pork, chicken and turkey! Silver lining! I have a beef allergy and thought life was over because I ate beef a lot, but have managed to do a lot with these other proteins and now don't even miss them! yes chicken is a life saver. Can I ask with the beef allergy does it rule out lamb? He wasn't tested so I am just going to assume it is all "red" meats. His first allergist was no help and basically said if he didn't react he could eat it. I say this because his first testing in 2014 included ALL meat, beef, chicken, pork and turkey. This latest testing showed just beef but all the allergies switched up. He has drank milk every single day in large quanities and loves eggs never complained but skin testing shows allergies. He is using almond milk and ate almonds (he has never had almond milk before and don't recall eating almonds) yesterday and complains of stomach pains yet it was neg. on skin testing. I am soooo confused. I tried lamb but didn't do well with it, so I don't eat it. For meats, I do antibiotic free everything. When I found out about the beef allergy I was really leery about any meats although only beef showed up, although I was allergic to wool/lanolin and told to try lamb because I didn't show positive to the meat. I tried each meat individually with several days in between so that I knew whether or not I was having a reaction. I also used minimal seasoning to make sure those were not involved. I do have issues with milk/milk products but it is lactose based. I tried the new milk A2 and cannot tolerate it. I stick with lactose free fat free milk and do well.

I wish I had suggestions for you. I know how hard it is researching on what they can and can't have to eat. My DS has gastritis and we're also on a mission to find what he can and can't have.

At age 13 she had a severe reaction to coconut. Perhaps the difference lies in people who have true nut allergies vs intolerance. I have true tree nut allergies and eat coconut just fine, practically on a daily basis. Coconut allergies are actually rare. As I said before coconuts are not tree nuts, nor are they nuts at all. The problems listed above are more likely just a coincidence. Most people with allergies have more then one allergy, but the allergies are not necessarily related.
