Could DS be allergic to APPLES?

I have been giving apples to DS for the past 3 days (in the morning with his ceral). I notice he spits up after the feeding. I also noticed a "prickly heat" rash under his chin. Could he have an allergy to this fruit? TIA

Re: Could DS be allergic to APPLES?

My ped believes DS is allergic to apples but he gets hives on his belly.

Re: Could DS be allergic to APPLES?

anything is possible... try skipping a day or two and see if he doesn't spit up... i know ds was sensitive to the dh and so whenever i gave him a meal with it in it it was abruptly returned to sender

Re: Could DS be allergic to APPLES?

Apple allergies usually happen with raw apples and their skin, with that being said DD had a mild reaction to one type of apples - red delicious. They were cooked and she still got a rash. Her ped said it is not common but also not unheard of.

My DD had a reaction to apples and sweet potatoes when she was small. She didn't actually register an allergy on a test but I saw her react with my own eyes. She outgrew it for the most part.

Thanks for the information. I skipped the past two days and moved onto bananas...the rash is still there. I haven't given up on the apples...I will try again next week! Also, is it too early to try peaches? Thanks again!

Oh, he will be 6 months old next week.

Could he be allergic to cereal?

I used to do 3-5 days in between, so I'd probably do bananas another day, then switch to peaches (which my DS HATED )

As for the allergy, with rashes, my DS was allergic to bananas as a baby and would get a rash, by 2, he outgrew it. My ped said to just try it every few months
