    Default Anyone allergic to certain nuts?

    I've noticed that I can't eat too much peanuts, bc of not i'll get pimples galore. So I cut peanuts out, i'll have them once in a while but not alone... like in certain meals i'll order restaurants is fine. Just no handfulls a day, like I use to. Or else i'll get zits like a motherfucker.

    NOW, for two weeks in a row I started to eat pistachio nuts and i've noticed that shit made me break the fuck out. So now i've cut those out too. Ashame, bc I love em. Maybe just like peanuts, i'll have very few of them on occasion.


    Almonds are the only nuts I can eat daily without getting a freaking pimple. My beloved almond nuts.

    I'm wondering if I'm like this too... I have switched to a gluten/dairy free diet and have been 100% strict for at least a month (I know, thats really short.) I was seeing some improvement in my skin... but right now its freaking the f-ck out. I bought some cashews, almonds and pumpkin seeds (all raw, no salt.) Maybe I'm in the same boat as you...

    It is a shame, cuz I luv teh nutz...

    Maybe I should just cut them out, like gluten and dairy. It was almost too easy to drop those things, so I'll give it a shot.

    Good Luck!

    Thx.

    I would cut out the cashews. Someone told me they make you gain weight.
    Def. stick to almonds & see. They don't make me break out at all.

    Here's what I read about pumkin seeds and Brazilian nuts...

    You're not allergic to nuts... you're allergic to legumes. Both 'nuts' you listed are not, in fact, nuts. Which is why you can eat other things.

    Hmm, ok you're right. But I can eat beans, peas, lentils almost everyday and no problems. I'm hispanic, so i'm immuned to beans.

    Im allergic to peanuts too - Im anaphylactic.
    Its a fast growing allergy. It wasnt common when I was a child but its fairly rampant now.
    ive been told that peanuts are something you can have a mildish reaction to one day and a severe one the next time, so be careful!
