It's never hurts to avoid to be safe. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1496893 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:05:54 +0000 Silva 1496893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: oh, uggg. Hope you feel better. Get as much rest as you can. I had it this year, too and parenting plus sick is no fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1496847 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 13:12:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 1496847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just an update in case anyone searches for this- the nurse at the ped said it probably wasn't an allergy but to not to strawberries until one year. </p> <p>And this morning (3 days later) I woke up with a stomach bug. So definitely a bug not allergy. Dh took the baby to a st pats day parade party and I have the apartment to my sick self. Bleh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493623 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:35:20 +0000 cmomma17 1493623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yuck! Poor baby (and mama) :( Glad she seems to be feeling better this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493600 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:24:19 +0000 Silva 1493600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I would put money on a stomach bug....but its probably a good idea to talk to her doctor anyway. Hope its just an illness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493579 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:16:53 +0000 Crisark 1493579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm voting bug on this one. Only because I just had a slightly similar situation with A over the weekend.<br /> A is 11 months old, so I was trying to introduce Milk slowly to wean her off formula. Well I started this Sat and Sunday and Sunday night she started projectile vomiting. I was convinced it was the Milk since she has some sensitivity. But then it turned into Diarrhea and not eating or drinking and getting dehydrated and yeah lots of no fun.<br /> So, no milk issue but stomach bug that just happened to hit at the same time as introducing something new.<br /> Keep an eye on wet diapers for sure.<br /> And I agree with @MamaMoose: that maybe waiting until after 1yr for strawberries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493557 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:08:27 +0000 Weagle 1493557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That seems more like a big or just an off day than an allergy. I hope so, at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493548 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:03:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: @Silva: I gave her the strawberries at lunch time and dinner time (like, 1 and 6 ish). She kind of nibbled at them both times, didn't have more than a couple of bites total, and she was only nibbling at the sweet potatoes too, which are usually a hit. She was more interested in drinking her water, but I thought it was because she finally figured out how to tilt the sippy cup herself. She didn't throw up until 10, after she had been in bed for a couple of hours. She also hardly nursed before bed which is very unlike her. So, it sounds like maybe it was more of a bug than an allergy? I'll call the ped just in case, and hold off on the strawberries, but she seemed fine this morning, nursed like normal, just a little extra sleepy, which makes sense since she obviously didn't get a lot of sleep last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493536 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:57:45 +0000 Silva 1493536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: how soon after she ate did she vomit? Our daughter threw up after eating egg, but it was 4 hours later so our ped said unlikely to be an allergy. He was right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493532 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:56:06 +0000 Weagle 1493532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes. The same day. Less than an hour later. After figuring out it was the egg, and confirming with the doctor, we didn't do much about it but wait. We didn't give her any eggs by themselves, but she could eat things like bread or cake with eggs baked in.</p> <p>ETA: the first time we gave her eggs she had the spit-up reaction. The second time she had the puking episode - maybe a week later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493507 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:40:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: it happened the same day that you first gave her the egg? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493491 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:23:04 +0000 Weagle 1493491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's how lo's egg sensitivity presented itself. The first time it was just a little bit, more like spit up, so we didn't think anything about it. The second time she just kept puking over and over. She only had a tiny bit of yolk. She outgrew it by 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493421 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 05:41:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: thanks. after the second throw up she went to sleep and seems ok this morning. Diaper was hardly wet but that's not that surprising. Going to watch that this morning of course. Hoping her morning nursing stays down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493341 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 00:02:21 +0000 StbHisMrs 1493341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I don't gave any advice but I wanted to add that I am allergic to strawberries, I get an insane stomach ache. I could eat them fine until I was around 8, I miss strawberry shortcake so much! I hope your lo is better now . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493260 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:36:41 +0000 MamaMoose 1493260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: most ped's don't mention it. I just unfortunately know waaaaaaay more than I'd like to about food allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493256 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:34:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: my ped didn't say anything about them and since I don't know anyone with a strawberry allergy I figured it was fine. I'm definitely holding off now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493251 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:30:19 +0000 MamaMoose 1493251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: it's actually recommended to hold off on strawberry until a year because it is a very allergenic food. I would wait a while before trying again to give her digestive system time to grow. My LO used to have toooooons of food intolerances and has outgrown all of them except eggs. She can eat them baked into things but if I give her straight egg it's puke city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493238 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:21:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Well, she nursed fine, then I held her up to my shoulder to let it settle and she threw up all over me. Cried right away, then seemed fine. Ugh. </p> <p>Can I just say how glad I am that DH is home tonight? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493177 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:31:27 +0000 cmomma17 1493177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I full on panicked and was ready to rush to the hospital in my jammies during the first banana incident :silly: it was like failing some kind of mom test.<br /> Hopefully your baby girl just had a little tummy upset. I think the way she's nursing is an excellent sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493176 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:31:18 +0000 Ash 1493176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be a bug too - with the sleepiness and lack of appetite. :( poor girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493169 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:29:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: oh I definitely know it could be worse! I mean it was gross, but so far at least it was just once. She seems ok otherwise and is nursing better than she did all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493160 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:26:52 +0000 cmomma17 1493160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think that's a good plan. I really thought it could be a fluke the first time too. And LO had some cantaloupe too, which made me more unsure. First time mom nerves made me avoid completely for a solid month. When it happened the second time we really felt it had to be the banana.<br /> It sounds like your LO didn't puke quite as much as mine did. Mine did it over and over, it was horrible (not that your situation is wonderful!). Poor baby just might have a tummy ache. I think getting used to solids can be tough on their tummies at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493152 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:22:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: she literally had like three tiny bites of the strawberries, and didn't really eat the sweet potatoes I have we either, which would sort of make me think she just wasn't feeling well anyway. But I'll definitely be avoiding them For a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493148 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:20:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: you mean you can't diagnose my baby over the internet??? Then what good is the internet??</p> <p>Yeah I'll call the ped tomorrow. She's nursing now. Hope it doesn't come back up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493146 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:18:10 +0000 cmomma17 1493146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we had this experience, but with bananas. No family history of allergies, LO handled tons of other foods really well. He actually had banana as his first food, a couple times, with no problems. However, I'm convinced that in those early days he wasn't ingesting much.<br /> Long story short, he ate a ton of banana one day and puke city! :( so bad that we called the emergency nurse line, I was in tears, ready to go to the ER, etc. No other symptoms. No fever, rashes, nothing. Was perfectly fine the next day.<br /> We avoided bananas for at least a full month and then tried again - same reaction! :( Brought it up at our next doctors appointment and we were advised to avoid bananas completely until LO is 2 years old. But the doctor was hesitant to call it an allergy officially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493144 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:16:58 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1493144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote maybe. Strawberry is a highly allergenic food and vomiting could be a sign of allergy (it was for Baby Brother) but it's hard to know over the internet, KWIM? I would avoid them just to be safe until you talk to your doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vomiting-sign-of-food-allergy#post-1493132 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:12:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 1493132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 7.5 months old and we've been introducing new foods slowly, but since we don't have any family history of food allergies, haven't been being super cautious. </p> <p>Today, C was extra sleepy, and didn't really eat much at all, nursing or solids. Otherwise, she seemed fine. She had a few bites of strawberry, for the first time. </p> <p>She just threw up all over her crib. We did a bath, changed everything, and got her back to sleep. She didn't seem overly upset, doesn't seem to have a fever. Do I need to worry about it being an allergy-- to strawberries?-- or is it probably just a fluke? Poor baby. </p> <p>I'm also googling and searching the HB archives, of course, but since it's a postathon... </p>
