Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hello Everyone, I've been noticing something strange for a while now. Sometimes 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. Is it possible that bananas are causing blue lips? if so, is it harmful? I have been wondering if he has a phenol issue, but haven't 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. Any advice would be great. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
