Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Itchy mouth is a sign of a true anaphylactic allergy - Not sensitivities or intolerances but a true anaphylactic allergy. My husband knows immediately when he has eaten something with fish or peanuts as his mouth and throat itch - Just thought I'd let you know about the itching as many people tell us they did not know that about food allergies.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 , I think you may be right with most cases of itchy mouth...as I am scared to try the yogurt with her again...her reaction has gotten stronger as we tried the yogurt a second time. My son has anaphylacitc to peanuts now..so I am more careful with both of mine. But my kids did also get itchy mouths to much food in the past...even the skin on an apple...and that is not allergy ... It can be very difficult to tell what is really allergy, especially when they are soooo reactive with skin, etc. etc. when they are so young... My advice is to be very careful when it comes to reactions with the mouth , as a young child can not necessarily tell you what is happening. Some allergy testing might be helpful...as my son only tested allergic to peanuts..and he is still intolerant to so much food....Hopefully allergy testing might pick up any Anaphylaictic food allergies.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 my daughter is only 2. once in a while she'll tell me her throat hurts. it doesn't seem to be connected with a cold. i just looked back on our food journal though and it didn't seem to happen immediately after eating, more like an hour later. but i'll keep an eye on it. if it was anaphylactic, would i see her trying to scratch her neck or being panicky? > , > I think you may be right with most cases of itchy mouth...as I am > scared to try the yogurt with her again...her reaction has gotten > stronger as we tried the yogurt a second time. > My son has anaphylacitc to peanuts now..so I am more careful with > both of mine. > > But my kids did also get itchy mouths to much food in the past...even > the skin on an apple...and that is not allergy ... > It can be very difficult to tell what is really allergy, especially > when they are soooo reactive with skin, etc. etc. when they are so > young... > My advice is to be very careful when it comes to reactions with the > mouth , as a young child can not necessarily tell you what is > happening.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Since childhood, my husband got that itchy mouth reaction from cantaloupe.... but, interestingly enough, as we discovered a few years ago, not to ORGANIC cantaloupe. We've since concluded that what he thought for many years was an allergy to cantaloupe, was really an allergic reaction to the pesticides.

She could have a virus..many 2 year olds seem to pick up a new one everyday. Maybe her tonsils bug her once in a while, just a change in weather can make your throat itchy. My ezcema kid(my daugther) also had severe acid reflex(since a baby), and that can cause a sore throat.as the acid burns the back of the throat. The scd has pretty much cleared that up, but if she eats something she is not ready for it can come back. If she smells bad or has a bad taste in her mouth after eating, or sleeping it may be acid reflex(gerd). It sounds like you are doing a good job with the food journals etc...it is difficult to figure out delayed reactions to foods...I've been there. If she gets a sore throat 1 hour after eating a certain food...I would be concerned....as she is probably not telling you about the hurting throat until it gets bad. I would put her on the most no-allergic scd foods for now.You may figure this out on your own. Allergy testing might be a good idea! I hope she is not eating any peanuts or nuts.yet..that's not a good idea! Anaphylactic Can occur many hours after eating a food. If she has difficulty swallowing, or has any symptoms you are concerned about after eating a certain food...I would not hesitate to go see a doctor.! If you can tell us what she is eating, supplements and all, maybe someone could tell you what foods may be a problem. Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 My could only eat organic bananas too! I think they spray them to ripe or so they don't ripen too fast. Or is it pesticides too?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 thanks for this useful info. i definitely think this is what's going on. i looked back on our journal and i think the fried eggs might be giving us a problem. i was poaching them for a while and i guess i'll go back to doing that again. this is the only fried food we eat. i try to fry them with very little oil and low heat but i guess it's still irritating. another reason i want to start yogurt is so we can stop eating so many eggs! > > My ezcema kid(my daugther) also had severe acid reflex(since a baby), > and that can cause a sore throat.as the acid burns the back of the > throat.
