Hives :(

We tried peanut butter today. She loved it and was licking her fingers. Within five minutes she had hives all around her mouth, red blotchiness on her face and neck and hives on her hands :( Going to draw labs on Tuesday when she has her 15 month appointment. Not happy. Glad it wasn't worse, but they say next time it could be. So, lab tests and then probably an allergist. We luckily avoided the lactose allergy and now this. I love peanut butter, I eat it off a spoon daily so I'm really hoping this goes away .Poor babe. She was loving it, giggling as she ate it etc.

    Yeah, I was too, but DH talked me out of it and then when the hives started popping up and I saw little bee stings all over her face I was like, " you gotta be kidding me!?!?!"

  • That is why I'm afraid to try! But I think I will try before her 15m appt which is on Friday.  That way I can mention it if I need to.

    Oh no! My friend is a ped allergist in Portland if you want a referral. I am already nervous about this and I am so far from it!

    That was DH's thinking. Our ped is on vacation so we saw someone else. I just called to get benadryl dosing, but they wanted her to come in. Yeah, I pray this is one of those cases where she outgrows it or what not.

    Shoot me the name, will be interesting to see if my Dr refers me there :) I'm sure we'll be sent to someone in Portland. I was nervous, but not scared since there is no history. Now I'm freaking a little about shellfish!

  • Awww poor baby (and poor you!).  I know there are a lot of advances in kids overcoming peanut allergies now though - best of luck at her 15 month appointment!

    I've also heard this is happening!  I'll be hoping for the best for you guys.  Peanuts and peanut butter are a staple in our house - I can't imagine having to avoid them.

  • That stinks! Hopefully her allergy isn't too bad.
