Strange reation - input please

[Guest guest]

My son has recently had these odd reactions. His ears will flush a

blood-red color, his knees, elbows and butt cheeks do the same and

he's itchy all over. He's on a very restricted diet but it always

happens within hours of quinoa so I'm thinking that's the culprit.

BUT it doesn't happen often. He can eat normally for weeks and then

this happens - but ALWAYS after quinoa. He gets enzymes with quinoa

so that part's covered.

The red ears make me think food intolerance but the elbows, knees and

butt confuse me. Nothing else happens, no spots randomly on his body

or itching on his chest or face (his usual reaction). I give him

charcoal when this happens and wrap him tightly in a blanket (he asks

for that part to help the itching) and within 20 minutes of the

charcoal, colors return to normal and he's off playing.

Other than the obvious avoiding quinoa for a bit, anyone have any

thoughts on this? Thanks!
