Redness around mouth?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My ds seems to have some food sensitivities. I wouldn't call them allergies, but if eats tomatoes or peanuts, he gets a terrible diaper rash. We've eliminated those, but occasionally he will get this patchy redness around his mouth and sometimes eyes after eating. I haven't been able to detect a pattern, but it happened this morning after he drank his smoothie (I added spirulina to it as a new ingredient) and some apple cinnamon oatmeal, which he hadn't had before.

Just wondering, is this a sign of allergies? Or is it just b/c he's fair - blond hair, blue eyes?

cinnamon does it to some kids (the rash around the mouth).
DS gets it on his upper lip if he has soy.
Start a food journal if you haven't already. I've noticed that the rash around the mouth is usually a pretty quick reaction in my kids... within a half hour of eating the food.
