Any ideas which ingred. cause problems?

[Guest guest]

Ok,

I am so thrilled that we are at the point, 3 mos in, where we are

able to narrow down the ingred. that are troublesome. We know Jane

has a problem with colors/dyes. I gave her a Minute Maid Frozen Fruit

Bar today as a test. I'm going to tell you the ingred. and see if you

have any ideas on what could possibly be the most troublesome ones.

Apple Juice

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Citric Acid

Cellulose

Guar and Xantan Gum

Vit. C

Beta Carotene

I am thinking it is one of the first three. Oh, I didn't tell you,

she broke out in a rash on all of what I call her " eczema spots " -the

spots that are most prone to the breakouts. Legs, arms. I am leaning

toward citric acid. What do you think?

> Apple Juice -- high phenol, also can be an intolerance reaction

> High Fructose Corn Syrup -- high salicylate

> Citric Acid -- probably from corn for a fruit bar, but not sure

> Cellulose -- don't know about this one

> Guar and Xantan Gum -- guar is a problem for some kids

> Vit. C -- depends on source

> Beta Carotene -- my son reacts to this

Was the rash itchy? Then I would lean toward DH and gluten-based

citric acid. Otherwise one of my kids would have had a rash from the

apples, corn syrup, and beta carotene.
