Re: blue lips and bananas?

[Guest guest]

I would not give him any banana at all until you get him tested for

it. My son also has a banana allergy. For him it causes intestinal

issues. Blue lips would be a cause for concern to me.

Better safe than sorry. You can develop an serious allergy very

quickly.

when my son eats breakfast he will get blue/purple lips, like he's

cold. This only happens at breakfast and maybe for up to an hour

after. It doesn't matter what time of year, I remember it happening

over the summer. His pre-school teachers noticed it last week also

and were concerned that he wasn't getting enough air. He seems OK,

still happy and plays fine. I did a test where I didn't give him

bananas for a few days, then I gave him one this morning. Sure

enough, blue lips appear for about an hour or so after breakfast.

investigated much yet. I've read many posts about red faces and ears

from phenols, but has anyone seen blue lips? Are there any tests that

a DAN! could do to help figure it all out? I've read the list of high

phenol foods and it seems overwhelming.

I can't eat bananas at certain times of the year due to criss reactivity

with environmental pollens--my mouth gets tingly. My banana-holic son

stopped eating bananas cold turkey the same point my allergy surfaced this

fall, so I am positive he gets the same reaction.

I would not give your son any more bananas until you have him tested.

Bananas are low phenol, but high amine. I have amine links in the

middle of my phenol page

My son tolerated bananas with No-Fenol enzyme [even tho they are low

phenol], so you can try that.
