Since peanuts are not true nuts, but are actually a member of the legume family, some PA individuals may suffer a cross-reaction after eating, for example, split pea soup.

Not all PA individuals are affected by other legumes (my daughter has no problem) but sometimes a reaction can occur that doesn't seem to have an explanation, since peanuts weren't ingested. Here is a list of legumes that may cause problems, if the PA individual has the tendency to react to other legumes besides peanuts:

I am so happy to see this list. I was hoping to do a search for this exact information, but it seems the "search" option won't be available for a few days.

Emily has been getting small red dots by her lower lip while eating. I'm not positive that a legume has been part of her meal each time this has happened, but I know on at least a couple of occasions it has. I'm going to take them out of her diet for a couple of weeks and see what happens.

I had a general idea what to avoid, but will print out your list as a reference. Thanks!

Under beans I think I would add string beans ("wax beans," &/or "pole beans") -- both green & yellow.

Great list!

Lupine beans (and lupine flour) have been known to cause severe reactions in pa individuals.
