Sweet potatoes are a big no no for fpies so we haven't tried them (ds is 11 months) but I'm told white potatoes are usually okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-an-allergy-or-is-it-normal#post-1919789 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:00:31 +0000 Vegmama 1919789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! Sorry you're having issues with this. On the chart from our doctor, vomiting/spitting up is a sign to look for. It's under the "intolerance", not "allergy". Not sure where they draw the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-an-allergy-or-is-it-normal#post-1919783 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:57:57 +0000 Mae 1919783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: fiona is MSPI too but she never spit up much with it. guess i'll cross sweet potatoes off the list for a bit! did you have issues with any other solids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-an-allergy-or-is-it-normal#post-1919778 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:55:06 +0000 Ash 1919778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like an intolerance to me. My lo has fpies and spitting up is one of the ways we know he's reacting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-an-allergy-or-is-it-normal#post-1919776 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:53:42 +0000 avivoca 1919776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H reacted weirdly to sweet potatoes at first, but we tried them again a few months later and it's totally fine now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-an-allergy-or-is-it-normal#post-1919769 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:47:51 +0000 Mae 1919769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 5.5 months. We started solids (doing BLW) on Sunday with avocado. She got pieces of avocado on Sunday and Monday and had lots of fun. Probably didn't ingest much of anything on Sunday, but a little bit Monday (maybe half a "finger" of avocado actually eaten). No issues. </p> <p>Today we tried sweet potato. I cut sweet potato strips and baked them into "fries" with a tiny bit of olive oil (just sprayed on them) so they were soft but dry on the outside. She was not a fan. I don't think she ingested hardly any of them, maybe one bite. She made horrible faces like she didn't like the flavor so I didn't push it-- maybe she just doesn't like sweet potato, no prob. This was this morning.</p> <p>Well she has spit up a TON today. She does have reflux but is on meds and rarely spits up more than a little bit on a daily basis. Today she's spit up a decent amount like 5-6 times. One of the times there were tiny bits of sweet potato in it. </p> <p>Wondering if this is just a normal solids thing? Or if this could be an allergy (can you even be allergic to sweet potato?)? Or if it's just a weird day maybe. </p>
