Peter's finally better! Skin is clear - except for some basic scratch marks from itching the dry skin, but that is rapidly clearing up as the skin is gathering more moisture!
The following are the things Peter can NOT have:
Peanuts (and all nuts)
Chocolate (though Cocoa Butter is not an issue, so the chocolate may actually be because most of it is processed at the same places and on same equipment as peanuts)
Coconut
Raspberries
Blackberries
Strawberries
You'd be surprised just how much stuff has peanuts (in the form of peanut flour), berries (usually as a sweetener or juice for flavor) and coconut oil... it's a good thing we were already making most everything ourselves!
He also has issues with perfumes and dyes as well as lanolin.
He's doing great... just thought anyone visiting or interacting with Peter should know what to avoid! (And be prepared....things are quite a bit different with the lack of peanut butter and chocolate around here!)
Just out of curiosity, have you tried chocolate that is certified processed on peanut free machines?
ReplyDeleteOur favorite kind that we get is one that is certified, we could bring some up sometime?
No. I've not tried that. Is it much more expensive? If it's going to be more expensive I think we'll stick with cutting out the chocolate (although having an alternative for those very special occasions might be really nice). When are you guys coming up?...
ReplyDeleteBob's done with school the 16th! He'll have plenty to do, but he'll be "available"... you know what I mean.... as available as Bob ever can be!
