Woo has another contact food allergy!
« on: April 01, 2007, 19:54:50 pm »
Some of you might remember when I posted about William breaking into hives when he got mashed potato on himself.. well today we had a repeat of that.. but this time from an omlette!!

Plain old beaten egg fried in a tiny bit of butter as an omlette and cut into pieces for him to eat for lunch.. he ate them with his fingers and everywhere it touched.. on his hands and on his face.. he broke out in hives.. poor kid was really itching!

Its a good job that we have antihisthamine in the house after the last time..!!

So I guess that now Woo has contact allergies from potato (raw and cooked), and now egg (cooked)

Awel.. for ages Woo wouldn't eat egg.. refused boiled egg, scrambled egg etc - I think it was a texture thing.. but recently really enjoyed an omlette. It must have sensitised him to getting the egg on him as this time the allergy rash broke out..  it happened the same way with the mash - the first time he was ok.. the second time he had problems.

Poor Woo, I remember the photos from the potato incident. How does this contact allergy wrok, Helen? Is it just when he touches something he has problems, has he had egg and potato as trace ingredients in food?

Poor Woo.

That sounds itchy. And I bet you weren't too thrilled either ::)

Woo seems to have problems with things with potato and now egg in it if he gets it all over himself - i.e. just if it touches his skin. He has no problems with eating egg or potato at all. I am exactly the same with potato.. but not egg.

That's very weird, isn't it?

Another silly question, how do you prepare the potatoes if you have this problem, can you peel them etc. or would Rob have to do it?

Its not a silly question lovey!

If I have to peel/prepare potatoes I do it with gloves on or get Rob to do them.. or I dont peel them at all.. or suffer from stinging and itchy skin, sneezes and itchy eyes!!!

lol.. you always knew I was weird eh!

oh my gosh I'm so enlightened...seriously....I didn't know about FOOD contact allergies...My DS has broken out in hives after eating a meal he'd eaten a dozen times before....we panicked raced him to emerg. and they said, oh it's just an allergy...but never mentioned it could be from only contact!!!!! :o

We've never figured out what it was....but every once in awhile he'll break out in hives around his mouth and his hands and forearms....!!!!!

And come to think of it....when we noticed it on his face, we took his shirt off to eat dinner....(I thought it was a dry cold rash on his face at first)....I'm going to attach a pic...can you tell me if it looks like what Woo has?

Sorry I'm seriously feeling a little stunned here!!!!! Not trying to hijack your post! :-[

Thanks ~Marie

Riley had a contact food allergy experience with mayo....fine to eat it but if it got onto her chin or cheeks she would break out in a rash. Interestingly we decided to try a different brand of mayo and there's no more rash!

Unfortunately I doubt there is such a thing as a different brand egg or potato!

Poor Woo! Marisa is the same if egg or too much butter, mayo, etc gets on her skin - she gets a little rashy around her mouth. But it doesn't seem itchy or bothersome and goes right away.

Poor Woo.  That must have been so scary!!  ((HUGS))

Food allergies confuse me soooo much. One time they will be fine...the other time they will break out in hives!   :-\ :-\
