    What about coconut? That is a fairly common allergy and is in Anzacs. Have you ruled that out?

    well i thought about the coconut.
    But the rash has been there longer than the past week (when she has had the biscuits). making me wonder if it is the oats or honey as i introduced them around mid-may (6-7 weeks ago)

    maybe try smearing some honey on her forearm, and see if she develops a rash there? Else I guess try eliminating oats for a couple of weeks, then introduce them very slowly again? Same with the honey?

    Oats is a reasonably low allergenic food. If you have been giving her brought, processed oats then it could be a preservative in them that is causing it.
