I just worry that people could be priming their bodies for a fatal allergic reaction, even if you never have a reaction to the RJ/BP combo.
My 2nd son had an anaphylactic reaction to pine nuts this summer and had to be hospitalized overnight. He had eaten them 20 or 30 times previously with no reaction at all. It takes a certain amount of exposure before you start to react to allergens.
Probably not a good idea while breastfeeding for that very reason.
