Re: Macadamia and coconut flour?

Meghan,

I know many are not overly fond of allergy testing, but if you are

still experiencing hives and itchy skin, I would recommend an

IgE skin test to determine which foods are the culprits and pull

all of them from his diet immediately.

I don't want to make suggestions to use any nuts if he has

allergies to some nuts. I would suggest a full panel of skin

allergy tests. The offending foods have to go to get the system to

calm down.

My younger son has " outgrown " many of his true allergies. But

we strictly avoided the allergens for several years. I am

assuming that SCD contributed to the " outgrowing " as well. But

we did avoid the allergens even on SCD for quite a while. I

gradually retried foods about a year into SCD and found that he

could tolerate them. A recent skin test showed that the vast

majority of the previous allergies are gone. Just 2 left and one is

not allowed on SCD anyway.

True allergies are not something to fool around with. Hives are a

certain sign of a true allergy.

You could make macademia flour at home if you have a food processor

or blender.

There is a list of egg free baked good recipes at

http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html You may be able to try one of

these and substitute the macademia flour/butter for the other nut

flours/butters used.
