peanut allergy/celiac

[Guest guest]

Today I had a 14 month old that was mildly reactive on a RAST test to

peanuts (<.35 is normal and he was .49). The parents are wondering if

this is an accurate test for them to have to avoid all possible sources

of peanuts, or can he avoid the nuts, peanut butter, etc and have the

foods that may have traces of peanut protein such as food containing

vegetable oils etc.

My other question is in regards to whey protein. Is this gluten free?

I am assuming it is. Thanks for any input.
