Citrus sensitivity (was Mouth sores)

[Guest guest]

During an elimination diet period, I found that a persistent pain in

my hip went away. Eventually tracked this down to what I saw as

normal citrus consumption, topped off by grapefruit seed concentrate -

apparently just too much citrus.

We also had a bizarre incident when my daughter was still in

diapers. She had never had diaper rash until one weekend when we

took off her diaper and found she was bright red (not a pimply rash,

just red) just about everywhere under the diaper. Tracked this down

to her having had pineapple and oranges at the baby sitter's during

the week (sitter used to give us notes as to what she ate), followed

by her introduction to grapefruit (which she loved) at home. Just

too much acid for her little system at that time. Disappeared just

as fast when we cut out the citrus.
