These are all such great questions. I have a Tree Nut allergy. I have had it all my life and its actually harder to shop and eat out now, that it ever has been. There are certain brands of foods, that i know i don't need to carefully check the ingredients, but it there has been a few cases where the supposed well know brand has slightly changed the ingredients and i have been caught out. Supermarket is a fine place to shop and i usually stay away from the health food isle, as there are usually more nut based products there. I find the bill usually is more expensive as i tend to purchase the whole/fresh/minimal ingredient foods. We do all eat the same foods.
My son (8m) has a Dairy and Egg allergy too. He predominately eats his own food, with a small mix of the same foods (pending the ingredients).
