It might be possible it was from the PB but from what i have read and been told food allergies are usually instant..
with my sons hives they think it might have been some sort of plant on the beach but he had the same reaction twice more in different places.. My eldest well we have no idea what caused them but they were huge.. and he said itchy..
I would avoid PB around him completely though for a little while and see how he goes.. Is there anything else at all.. New detergents? new clothes ect...
Well it wasn't immediate at all, I've been trying to retrace my steps and it would have been at least an hour to two hours. I did use some new softener on the weekend but I don't think I washed any of DS clothes in it.
I really hope it isn't nuts and the skin p*rick test is apparently 95% reliable.
quite possibly it is the PB but not the actually nuts... have you considered the preservatives/additives in the PB?
my dd reacts to some highly processed foods.(that colourful party popcorn is the worst) it is not immediate and it does not affect her mouth or breathing but it is definately from foods. she gets hives and itchyness and rashes.
in her case its not an allergy its an intolerance. so sometimes its ok if her body is not too overloaded a the time, but once she is eating processed food too much it starts to creep up on us again.
Spring - I tend to agree that it is unlikely to be the PB. I have nut allergies in my family and all the little ones affected have had almost instant reactions and almost always swelling of at least the face/mouth, if not throat and affected breathing.
I hope for your sake it's not a nut allergy, I'm finding it hard enough with L's suspected dairy intolerance!
i would investigate further... my son twice had peanuts and it took some time but both times he had runny stool and spewing. his breathing was fine so there ya go !!!
Thanks Willow, that is what the GP said but he isn't my usual GP and I felt like he thought I was overreacting, hey I've got a 13 month old covered in huge hives that are appearing before my eyes, of course I'm bloody overreacting....you stupid condescending fool I'm going to ask for another skin p*rick test, I don't want to find out by trial and error IYKWIM.
Squidipa: No runny stools or vomiting, in fact he has been really happy all day, including when he was covered in hives.
It's all very confusing and I'm probably making myself more worried by consulting Dr. Google
