It’s NOT Just a Little Peanut 🥜 Nine years ago today, this little peanut ate her first peanut!!! Why is this a memorable moment for us? Because like 1% of the population, she suffered from life threatening allergic reactions to peanuts. When she was almost 3 years old, she suffered her first allergic reaction to peanuts - from eating only 2 peanut M&M’s. She broke out head to toe in hives, coughing, itchy eyes, and a complete mood change. What I didn’t know at the time, was that she was experiencing an anaphylactic response to the peanut protein. Thankfully it didn’t progress any further. Fast forward 2 years (April) . .. We had been in strict avoidance of everything and anything that contained or may contain peanuts. I had joined a couple allergy groups and reading various blogs, when I came upon a blog that changed our lives!!! https://justalittlepeanut.blogspot.com had a post about her son eating his first peanut using a therapy called OIT (oral immunotherapy). I immediately called to get her an appointment. We made weekly trips from TN to TX as there were only a few doctors in the nation doing this treatment clinically. 6 weeks later, she ate her first full peanut, with no reaction!!! Food can be a blessing and a curse. But more often than not, if you eat whole, nutrient dense food, you are giving your body what it needs to heal from the inside out. #peanutoit #peanutoitgraduate #foodforhealth #fwtfl #fasterwaytofatloss #fasterwaywithcari #inittogether #hereforyou #foodfreedom #freeconsultation #freebies #welcomechange #youvegotthis #youcandothis #letsgetstarted #letstalk #newbeginningsahead #bethechangeyouwanttosee #heathylifestyles #accountability #babystepstosuccess #prioritizeyourself #selfimprovement #showupforyourself #lovethejourney #countingmacros #empowereachother https://www.instagram.com/p/CBr0kRhg9g9/?igshid=1wgac7kovs393
