Liam Develops a Peanut Allergy Too!


This is what happened after Liam had a couple of baby spoons of my frozen yogurt with peanut butter and chocolate in it last night. The original picture was a little graphic according to Ray so I focused in on part of his back only. I had suspected that he was getting some food allergies in recent weeks with some eczema showing and also some bad rashes that were very itchy on his bottom. Up until last night, all the reactions were quite subtle and so I couldn't pinpoint the food item. This reaction was within a minute or two of eating the peanut butter and so it was finally obvious. We will be seeing the allergist Nov. 1st to see what options we have in finding out more of Liam's allergies even though he is only 16 months old. I suspect that he might not have totally outgrown his dairy allergy (he had a reaction like this on his face to yogurt at 6 months) and we might be told to eliminate it from his diet for a year as well. Would be quite easy to have both boys on the same foods for the next year at least!
