is it possible to be allergic to honey?

moonlight mom · Sep 24, 2009

Hey everyone,
dd has been doing great the past 2 weeks and finally at baseline. Then yesterday she spit up all day and was up all night. Today she had 2 mucousy poops. The only thing different with my diet was honey, which i got from the farmer's market on Sunday. Is it possible this is a reaction to honey? I did eat alot of it when I was pregnant, but haven't had any since she has been born.

Do you know what kind of honey it was?

It is a dark pure honey. I was told it was great for fall allergies because it was collected in the fall and therefore has a darker color.

Well there is clover honey, alfalfa honey and wildflower honey..among several other varieties.

I have no idea. It doesn't say. He did tell me that it contains goldenrod.

Generally honey *is* good for allergies, it helps me a bit. I would try and find out more about what kind of honey it is.

Honey is good for SEASONAL allergies (it helps you build up tolerance to pollens). I don't know that it helps with food allergies/intolerances. My DD2 couldn't have honey either (though I think she just got it back after 14 months!). ANY food can cause ANY symptom.
