Allergic reaction?

We got my 18 month old daughter's blood test results back last week and decided to introduce foods that she tested negative for. We started with peas, which I am a bit leery about since she is allergic to soy and peanuts. Anyway, her RAST was a .27. She ate them on Sunday night and loved them. She had some red spots break out on her cheeks and was up at 11:30pm screaming. We gave her a bottle to calm her down and she finally went back to sleep.
I gave them to her again last night, and she only ate a few then started pushing them away. She didn't have any kind of breakout on her face this time. She was up by 8:30pm (she goes down around 7pm) and was screaming bloody murder and rolling around like crazy for hours. I finally gave her Benadryl at 11:30pm because it clicked that she could be having some kind of internal reaction to the peas.
I am planning on stopping the peas for a few weeks and then trying again to see if I get the same reaction from her. Do you think this could be a reaction to the peas or just a coincidence? Thanks!

IMO i think she was reacting to the peas. Maybe when you get her back on peas try 2 peas one day, 3 peas the next day. Just really small portion.
i'm sure you were super excited to introduce it so this is a total bummer. i hope it was due to something else.
are the peas organic? if not, i would try organic ones, maybe she's reacting to the possible pesticides.
Yep, organic.
