Woah, scary stuff! What did you do? I'm sure the doc will do the tests as thats pretty conclusive that there are issues.

Hannah gets a bit hivey from bought tomato sauces etc, but not to fresh tomato sauce that I make so might not actually be the tomato.]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 08:44:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17045&PID=379615&title=it-finally-happened#379615 <![CDATA[It finally happened... : OMG Steph, you poor things. my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17045&PID=379558&title=it-finally-happened#379558 Author: chonny

Gosh, definitely insist on the RAST!! Have you tried rubbing a little of any suspicious food in his elbow creases? That can also help with indications of whether food might be ok to try.

Lucas is fine now, thank you everyone who has showed some level of concern - you are so sweet.

And I'm good (for those of you that asked), was just a little taken back by it all. I have basically been expecting him to have an allergic reaction to SOMETHING somewhere along the line, just surprised its taken this long.

Of course I wouldn't know if he was allergic to what I am allergic to as I can't prepare nor eat the food so he doesn't come into contact with it (peanuts, all nut varieties, eggs, fish ...all seafood & chicken, and sulphates...and anything containing traces or oil. Severe anaphylaxis.) ...

And in reply to whether or not he's eaten fresh tomatoes before, when he was around 8 months I gave him a couple of cherry tomatoes, after only sucking the seeds out of 2 of them he came out in a bright red rash that didn't subside till a couple days later. So I avoided giving them to him again (same goes with normal tomatoes).

BUT in saying that, he loves eating toast soldiers dipped in Watties Spaghetti and doesn't seem to react to that. So who knows.

Will get on the blower & book an appt with Dr. for early next week to organize tests.

Thank you all for your messages. So sweet]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 20:15:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17045&PID=378553&title=it-finally-happened#378553 <![CDATA[It finally happened... : OMG how scary, Steph!

OMG how scary, Steph! Yeah I'd say you've got every reason to demand a RAST and a skin-prick test after that. He's old enough for them and you've got very good reason to want them done. Keep the ketchup container or the label from it so you can refer to the ingredients later.

when C was about six months old we were going down to Morrinsville, and she got a rash all of a sudden, i didnt have any cream or anything to put on it so i sat in the back expressing breastmilk onto my palms and rubbing that on her (worked btw) -haha at the look on the truck drivers face that had the misfortune (or fortune :-P) of driving up next to me .....]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 19:24:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17045&PID=378510&title=it-finally-happened#378510 <![CDATA[It finally happened... : oh my goodness Steph! that is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17045&PID=378489&title=it-finally-happened#378489 Author: popcorn

Yeah it was Watties ketchup, not sure about the difference between that and sauce. I will go and analyze the label now.

He is fine now thank you for asking Emma, his lips are back to normal size & colour and his face is yellow again LOL (He's been turning yellow lately with REALLY yellow nose due to too much beta carotene ...he doesn't eat green veges which is a pain)

Lucas had his first allergic/anaphylactic reaction to food ...tomato ketchup was the culprit!

Scared the living daylight out of me, his face puffed up, had trouble breathing and his lips were all swollen like a fish (and as an added bonus they turned completely WHITE). He was almost choking.

I think it's time I request he has RAST tests/skin prick tests done. With a serious history of allergies/anaphylaxis in the family (as in ME being allergic to nearly everything) I don't see why my Dr. hasn't mentioned getting it done sooner.

So has anyone else's kid reacted to tomatoes/sauce? ]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 16:04:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17045&PID=378302&title=it-finally-happened#378302
