My son has been having solids for awhile now, but the last two times I've given him sweet potatoes he's thrown up, got blotchy and had trouble breathing! The only other stomach virus symptom he MAY have is diarrhea (but he's had it for a few days and does everytime he gets a tooth so I figured it was from that). No fever, acting great, sleeping ok..... Anyway, right after throwing up, he acted fine and was showing signs of still being hungry. I gave him apricots and he was fine. About an hour later, he started with stomach pain. Farting a lot and getting cranky.
I am pretty sure that he is having a reaction to the sweet potatoes (since this happened both times that he had sweet potatoes).
My nephew has severe food allergies (7 different things) so I do know a bit about food allergies.
Though I know that I can just keep him away from sweet potatoes for a few weeks, my fear is that he's allergic to other foods as well, and I won't know it. Should I call the pediatrician???
