Reaction to applesauce???

Applesauce is very acidic. If there were no hives or other symptoms besides redness where the applesauce touched, it is just probably the acidic nature of applesauce.

My PA ds gets red spotches from cinnamon. He's not allergic, he just has sensitive skin.

Apples and applesauce can make my ds spotty. Maybe cinnamon too. Just around his lips and sometimes near his eye if he gets messy or rubs it around. He is 22 months, so things can get messy.

I have hoped it is just the acid. I think tomato sauce can do it too at times. He otherwise seems fine, no GI disturbance and such, so I have not worried too much. becca

Allison has a suspected apple allergy. She breaks out in hives when she eats raw apple... haven't tried applesauce yet.

She's RAST negative to peanut though.

Still not sure what to think, he has had lose bowel movements since he had it. The only thing I am not sure of is is it peanut or cinnamon. Like i said before he has had cinnamon many times, I called Mott's and they said there was little likely hood that it was that. I not sure if i am convinced by that. But on the other side we got our rast test results today his level has gone down for PA but, he is now allergic to dog. I might be adding cinnamon to that list. Any suggestion on what i should do? HOw can be sure if it is an allergy? Hopefuuly it is just a contact from the acidic, either wayI think we are going to stay away from cinnamon for a little while!

ITS THE CINNAMON !!!!!
AND SERIOUS DEJAVOU

I have a 3 year old pa, apple sauce with cinnamon in it reaction . . we made a paste of cinnamon and put it on his arm, oh ya it welted. asked the allergist, she said yes there is definitely such a thing as peanut allergy.

sorry i meant to say, our allergist said there is definitely such a thing as cinnamon allergy, and to stop feeding our 3 year old cinnamon, she didn't even want to see him.

Well we talked to the allergest he is going to get tested for cinnamon in dec, told to stay away from it untill then. I guess will see then. I think it was probable that but...maybe we will get lucky and it wasn't. Still got to hope [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

It could be an apple allergy, too. My peanut/tree nut/egg allergic son was just diagnosed with the apple allergy last year (at age 10), and he'd been eating apples all his life with no problems...until then. He started having symptoms eating apples - in fruit roll bars, and then in cider. His RAST for apple actually wound up being even higher than the peanut RAST. And taking apples away...after having had them all those years really hit him hard.

We were told true apple allergy is an extremely rare thing. Unfortunately for my son... he's one of the "true" ones. But such a thing does in fact exist.

Apple...btw...EXTREMELY hard to avoid, if one must. Especially hard is beverages. When you start looking...virtually 98% of juices out there have apple in them. It's crazy!

If you even suspect apple might be a problem, be careful. Keep track of symptoms whenever apple is ingested. When I started doing that, the culprit (apples) became quite clear. I knew it, even before the RAST came back.
