Does anyone know of any allergy medications to deal with nuts allergies?

i switched from junk snacks to health foods like granola. my problem is that i seem to be severely allergic to all kinds of nuts.(i breakout all over my back in a sort of rash). peanuts, cashews, pecans and the whole variety. i think my reaction has to do with a protein compound that are found in higher contents in nuts like pecans than in peanuts. i would be grateful if anyone can help me in my delima.

a) OTC allergy meds are good for the moderate reactions you're having. You can take them orally (most come that way) or get a cream to apply to the rash. Benadryl works for me, but you have a huge range of products out there.

b) I'd cut down (or out) the nuts. We have different types of nut allergies, but the theory is the same: every exposure to an allergen makes the reaction worse the next time. Nuts are, as you said, in almost everything, so you are being exposed almost all the time. Nut allergies are known for causing fun things like anaphylactic shock, which causes fun things like death. Diet changes aren't fun (I really loved peanuts and I miss them), but sometimes they're necessary.

c) There are nut-free granola and trail-mix brands out there. I find them in my local supermarket. Sometimes they're a bit more, but honestly, allergy medicine isn't cheap either.

don't eat nuts u are nuts to do that
don't eat them
Try allegra D by prescription only
have you tried a antihistamine? they are good for any sort of allergies, I'm not sure but the pharmacy may have a topical antihistamine for rashes.
nope, Its not a protein, its an enzyme in your body that can't break down that protein. The enzyme produced by your body is either ineffiecent , inactive or not even produced.
I "assume" there are no meds for it yet.

Just cut out the nuts in your diet. Its the smartest thing to do. meds only mask the problem, not solve it. diet is the answer for now until a breakthrough in enzyme "prediction" accours.

my father has had the same problem with sucrose. "table sugar" only it leads to migranes and vomiting for 2 days. its horrible, but its been about 22 years since he had a problem, but thats because he hasn't had sugar since.

seems like proteins can act as poison if not processed correctly.

He's been studying the human production of enzymes for years on his own in his retirement and has explained to me that is why he has the problem he has with sugar. I expect to have the same problem in my DNA.
Peanuts and tree nuts are responsible for the greatest number of severe or anaphylactic allergic reactions. And although the reaction to peanuts is quite dangerous (can be fatal), to date there has been no clear data as to the prevalence of peanut allergy in the general population. However, in 1999 researchers conducted a study on peanut allergy and tree nut allergy in America. It was found that peanut and/or tree nut allergy affected about three million Americans, or 1.1 percent of the population. In the study, the only persons included in the 鈥減ositive for peanut allergy鈥?group were those that experienced an allergic reaction within one hour of consumption, and the allergic reaction in this group included hives, angioedema, wheezing, throat tightness, vomiting, or diarrhea.

This is a major breakthrough for those who suffer from serious peanut allergies 鈥?about 1.5 million people in the U.S. alone. Deciding not to eat peanuts is inconvenient, but it is the unintentional, unexpected exposure that is the haunting danger. The exposure threshold can be very low. Because of the aggressive antibodies that these people have already made against peanuts, even a trace of peanuts can trigger an immediate anaphylactic reaction. The March 13, 2003 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine describes a careful test of TNX-901, an exciting new drug that consists of antibodies against the antibodies against the peanuts. In this study, some of the people received TNX-901 once a month for 4 months. Others received a placebo. A month later, everyone was carefully challenged with peanuts. At on dose tested, the medicine increased the average threshold for a reaction from only half a peanut to about 9 peanuts 鈥?which should be enough to protect against many accidental exposures. I hope the remaining practical obstacles will be overcome quickly to make this available to families with peanut allergies.
