Hello to all,
I was wondering if anyone may know if Coco Beans and Coconuts would be in the same family. My allergy test shows I'm allergic to Coco Beans, would this also include Coconut as well? Sorry for a silly question but I'm not sure if they are considered to be in the same family or not...Plus I've just found out I'm allergic to so many foods and new to allof this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Sabrina Posted on 05/10/08, 12:05 pm |

Since no one has answered here, I'll post the response you got at healingwell.com:
Hi Sabrina, Not a silly question - both foods are tropical, so it makes sense to ask. You should be ok with coconut. They're in two different botannical families: Cocoa ------Stercula Family Coconut ------Palm Family See http://www.calgaryallergy.ca/Artic...#by_Food_Name for a pretty comprehensive list of foods & botannical families. Typically, if one has an allergy to one food in a particular botannical family, then one is at a slightly increased risk of having or developing an allergy to other members of the same botannical family.
