The avocado rash was splotchy with small bumps. The egg rash looked more like the skin was irritated by rubbing. Bright red and no spots, as if we had scrubbed LOs chin extremely hard. DH and I kept asking each other if we had scrubbed her chin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1443668 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 11:01:29 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1443668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Peas are legumes like peanuts and soybean among others so it's definitely possible that it's an allergy. Also, eczema is an inflammatory process, have you looked into possible causes for it? Could be environmental or food related...<br /> My first LO had an egg allergy that he has mostly outgrown now at 2.5, which presented as rash and green poop while bf. my second has mspi and is also sensitive to a few other things which we haven't been able to identify as easily, but the milk is an intolerance that causes vomit and the soy causes a rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1443667 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 11:01:03 +0000 hilsy85 1443667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think peas are actually a somewhat common allergy, although it seems like it shouldn't be! </p> <p>My LO hasn't had any serious allergic reactions yet, but he gets a contact allergy (splotchy red skin) from cinnamon and lately from tomato sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1443641 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 10:45:36 +0000 T-Mom 1443641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: there are some kids who have peanut allergies who have a pea allergy as well (legume family). Are you planning to get him tested?</p> <p>My DD has a peanut allergy and she presented with hives on her face and neck. She has only had two known exposures at 5 yr old so I don't know what her reaction would be today if she were exposed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1441883 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 20:33:31 +0000 skipper2010 1441883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: Wow what a scary reaction! I'm glad he was ok! And yes the eczema sure does make things a little more tricky. </p> <p>@Corduroy: What kind of rash was it? Did LO break out into hives? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439591 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 01:02:40 +0000 sunny 1439591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen my LO get hives and get really mucuousy diapers including 1 time with a spot of blood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439528 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 00:01:34 +0000 MrsRcCar 1439528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N can't have milk of any sort. He breaks out around his mouth and chin then gets the worse diaper rash. The only thing that clears it up is Benadryl. I wish everyone was careful about what he is given but people slip up. In fact right now we are battling allergy diaper rash and I am not sure when he got anything with milk in it. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439500 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 23:42:06 +0000 Corduroy 1439500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got a rash on her trunk the second time we gave her avocado and a bright red rash on the chin the first time we gave her egg yolk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439092 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:25:42 +0000 cmomma17 1439092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is allergic to bananas! Not very common at all. And it's just a total pukefest :( our doctor finds the lack of a rash really odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439085 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:24:19 +0000 Katrocap 1439085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far DS has only shown an allergy to peanuts. That was not fun! I gave him a little bit of peanut butter for the first time when he was 12.5 months old. Within 10 minutes his lips and face were swollen big time and his arms, legs and torso were covered in red splotches. Fortunately he had no respiratory or GI distress, but we took him to the ER and they gave him a shot of Benadryl to make the swelling go down. He has eczema, too, so it's hard to tell with less obvious symptoms if it's a allergy to food or just eczema. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439078 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:23:20 +0000 swedishfish 1439078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R also had a red, splotchy rash all over her body when she had milk protein formula or soy formula. We had to switch her to Alimentum. Sounds like an intolerance or allergy in my (non doctor) opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-los-food-allergy-symptoms-present#post-1439060 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:19:50 +0000 skipper2010 1439060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS broke out in a rash the second time he had peas, but I'm not 100% sure it was the peas that caused the rash. A little background: DS has eczema so his skin is always dry with rough patches and gets red easily. He developed the rash a few hours after eating peas. It was a prickly rash with a few splotchy red areas, but he was also rolling around in his diaper at that time so his skin could've been irritated just from that. He never developed hives, and the rash was still there the next day. I waited a week before I tried peas again per his pediatricians recommendations, and I noticed the same thing happened again. But really....whose allergic to peas?<br /> Did your LO's food allergies present like this or was it more obvious? </p>
