Food Allergy

how do you know if its an allergy? (solids)

would extreme tummy ache/ gas pains and irritability be a sign of allergy to a certain food?

we recently started solids, bananas were fine, squash fine, sweet potato ok, but with brown rice and also with peas we are seeing the same symptoms as when i eat dairy (milk protein allergy, i EBF). how do i know if this is the cause, and should i stop feeding it? also how long does it take for a reaction to start?

  • Sounds more like an intolerance to me, but it can also be an allergy.

    I would stop giving him rice and peas until you speak to your pedi.   there are a few people on here that are allergic to rice i think.. peas are pretty common.  

    definitely talk to your doctor and even ask if allergy testing would be ideal.
