Peanut Butter reaction

msm261

I didn't find anything good on google, so I thought I would ask here.  I gave DS a peanut butter sandwich two days ago.  He loved it and I didn't see any immediate reactions.  Flash forward to today and he just had a very stinky and runny mucousy poop (sorry for the TMI).  Could this be a reaction to PB?  That was the only new food he has had in the past week.  He is also a MPSI baby (but does fine with cheese and yogurt).

i think it's possible.  Be careful b/c most reactions happen on the second exposure.  So do it with caution or better yet, call your pedi / allergist and ask if you should give it to him again or wait for a reaction.

My son touched a piece of egg and played with and was fine.  Next time we had eggs and i gave it to him to play with it (so we can finish eating) and he had a full blown ana reaction..  and that's the reason you introduce foods multiple times before going to the next food b/c if there is an allergy it will be on the second reaction.

Thanks for the advice.  That actually was the second time he had peanut butter!  I just left a message with the pedi.  Thanks!

hopefully that is a good sign and the poop may just be from something else.   I would call the pedi and see what she says.   I have seen kids with Food Allergies having mucousy poop on this board but usually it's to dairy / soy / eggs..

DS pnb reaction is butt/diaper/poo related. His butt looks like it's been smacked extremely hard and he gets a weeping diaper rash.

He get's a milder version of the above from strawberries.
