Vegemite allergie in baby's?

[squidipa]

hi there, i found out today from the dr that my son is allergic to Vegemite and came with a rash from head to toe. I was wondering if anyone here has had same thing happen did u ever brave it again if so what age??? what is your experiences with it? i am sorta scared to try anything else new.

That is strange! Cant say I have ever heard of it before sorry.
Did the doctor say what in the vegemite he was a allergic to exactly? I wonder if it is a yeast intolerance or something?

Try googling it and see if you can work out what it is he is allergic to - maybe Promite or MightyMight are made differently and wont have the allergen or the volume of allergen in them?

Good luck...sorry not much help...Hopefully someone more helpful will come by! lol

Hope the little man is ok though!

hey limeslice..

i started googling but havnt finished so far kids have only had spots/rash on face or cheeks so the fact josiah was covered head to toe brings high concern to me today they are all gone

i will be avoiding promite, marmite.

My niece gets a rash from vegemite (9 months) and we have decided it is yeast sensitivity. There really is nothing else particularly in it. The plan is to wait a few months and then try it again. It is brewers yeast - so different to that in bread, but could make her ability to drink beer in the future a challenge if she stays sensitive

did your neice get a rash just on face? i think the fact he had it all over concerns me to try again.

Yep - just on the face so far but we aren't pushing our luck by giving it again for a while. How old is DS??
