Can I have coconut if I have nut sensitivities?

According to American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, "although the Food and Drug Administration labels coconut as a tree nut, the vast majority of tree nut-allergic individuals also tolerate coconut without difficulty, since coconut is not truly a nut, but rather a fruit."
 
Ultimately, it is up to the provider's clinical discretion as to whether a patient with a known nut sensitivity should keep or avoid coconut.
