Almond

Almond allergy is an allergic reaction to almonds, a type of tree nut. It is one of the more common tree nut allergies and can range from mild to severe, including potentially life-threatening reactions. Like other food allergies, an almond allergy is an immune system response to the proteins found in almonds.

What foods cross-react with almond allergy?

Individuals with almond allergies may also react to other tree nuts or foods, such as:

  • Walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, and other tree nuts.
  • Peanuts (though technically a legume, there can be cross-reactivity).
  • Seeds or fruits that share similar proteins, though this is less common.

When should I consider getting an almond allergy test?

  • If you experience allergic symptoms after consuming almonds or almond-containing products.
  • If you have a known allergy to other tree nuts and experience symptoms that suggest a cross-reaction with almonds.
  • If you have a family history of nut allergies.

How do I reduce my almond allergy symptoms?

  • Avoid all forms of almonds, including almond milk, almond flour, and almond oil.
  • Read food labels carefully to check for almond ingredients.
  • Be cautious when eating out and communicate your allergy to the food service staff.
  • Carry an epinephrine auto-injector (like an EpiPen) if you have a history of severe reactions.
  • Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet.
  • Work with an allergist for personalized advice and potential allergy testing.
