Food Allergy Questions

D has only shown one reaction and it was very mild just around her mouth from pineapple. I think I have it to her at 6 months, which I then learned was to early.

6 months later and she has had pineapple many different times with no reactions. Most of the time it was canned pineapple in fruit salads at parties, but I know she has had raw pineapple at least 2 other times.

Last week I got a fruit tray from Walmart to get some more fruit in her system. She hates purées but will eat fruit diced up. She has had almost or so I thought most fruits, but she broke out in a rash around her mouth and then ended up with diarrhea that left a raised rash on her bum.

The fruit tray had all fresh cut up fruits. Pineapple, Mango, Honeydew melon, Cantaloupe, grapes, and kiwi.

I ate the kiwi myself #kiwislut that day she had Pineapple, Mango, and Grapes. She had just ate all the same stuff 2 days ago with no reaction.

Does small bumps around the mouth then followed up with diarrhea that leaves a raised rash on her bum sound like a food allergy. I'm just hesitant to give her any more now, because it's all juicy now and Im sure the fruit juices have all mixed. It happened on Sunday I believe so it's been a few days.

Do I need to test out different fruits and see which one possibly caused a reaction? I'm not sure what else it could have been.

TIA

  • Omg!!! You just solved my mystery I think. C had pineapple the other night and now he has a rash on his inner elbows and the back of his knees. Eczema? It's a raised prickly rash.

    Apparently pineapple is really acidic and can cause a rash, not sure if it's s true allergy though.

  • Well, too many fruits will cause diarrhea, and it can definitely leave a red bum because the poop gets so acidic from all the fruits, and acidic fruits can leave a rash around the mouth. DD1 has gotten a red bum and red face and diarrhea from too many fruits and she is not allergic. But she never got a raised rash around her mouth, so I don't know if that is common or not. Does my non-answer help at all ;)

    They were just tiny bumps around her mouth and hives on the bum. I think that day she had 2 grapes a slice of mango and chunk of pineapple to eat alongside side her lunch, so I don't think it was too much, but maybe it was.
