Possible Food Allergy, So.Not.Cool.

Oh boy, we might be experiencing a food allergy already! So far we've tried sweet potatoes, pears, peas, apples, bananas and decided to embark on carrots two days ago. Well, the second day I gave them to her I noticed she had three little pink dots on her shoulder and then a few on her chin/cheek area.


Our whole family has a milk allergy so the doctor told me to watch out for her to possibly get a little rash when he eventually did introduce something other then my own milk. So, since she told us to watch for that I'm assuming she might be allergic to carrots. Just to be safe, I stopped giving them to her right away so we could see if the rash went away or not. It's still here today, so I plan on doing some research in my baby books later on. In the meantime, do any of you know if it sounds like she is allergic or if it might just be something else.

Would love to hear what everyone thinks on the situation!

Hi, My son Harper is 8 months. He has allergies to milk, Egg, Potato, he also has an allergy called FPIES to rolled oats. It's so hard I hope your little one dose not have them! I think it sounds more like a food intolerance rather that an allergy but I'm no doctor! I was told to do one spoon of new food first day, Two spoons 2nd day, Three spoons 3rd day and watch and write any changes down. With Harper it's Vomiting for hours, floppy, Pale and very bad eczema. I can't even eat milk or eggs because I'm breast feeding and he will get eczema if I do . Good luck I would just go slowly and talk to your ped

Oh my, you poor thing! That has to be difficult to deal with since so many foods have milk and egg in them. I guess it's a good thing there are many options out there that you should be able to find for him when it comes to dairy free recipes though.
I'll do some research for you and see if I can help in anyway. Have you looked into gluten free recipes, there might be some that are dairy free also.

Oh my, how do you do it dear?

& thanks for the advice!
I'll definitely be calling one of the nurses at my pedi's office tomorrow to discuss further.
