What to know about peanuts
The classic peanut allergy is a true IgE food allergy that can be life-threatening and is completely separate from the food-chemistry triggers here. On the intolerance side, peanuts are high in oxalates, moderately high in salicylates and nickel, and high in lectins. So beyond the allergy, peanuts can drive kidney-stone risk, salicylate reactions or a nickel flare, which is why some people who are not allergic still feel worse after them.
Watch for
- A separate IgE peanut allergy can be severe and is not the same as the food-chemistry triggers below; if you have a diagnosed allergy, strict avoidance is the only safe approach
- High in oxalates, which raises calcium-oxalate kidney-stone risk and matters on a low-oxalate diet
- Moderately high in nickel, a common trigger for systemic nickel allergy flares
- Moderately high in salicylates and high in lectins, either of which can cause symptoms in sensitive people
