Can you be allergic to bananas? Zach has been eating bananas since he started baby food, but yesterday he ate about 4 Gerber banana cookies and had some strawberrry banana juice, took a nap and his rash on his cheeks got really bad(he's had a slight rash on his cheeks for about a week now, going to the peds next week for it), and this morning when he got up he had a rash all over his body. It's the second time for this to happen, last was on his birthday. He hasn't eaten anything new or unsual lately, but after his reaction to the banana cookies, I wonder if he could be allergic to bananas  |

could it be the strawberries in the juice? I think that those are a more common allergy? Bananas just seem so bland and what not. Plus if he has been eating them forever... I dont know. But it just seems odd to me.

I was going to suggest the strawerries too. Has he had wheat or soy before? Could that be in the cookies?

I was thinking the strawberries too, but he's had lots of food with strawberries also. I'm just befuddled with what could have caused the exact same rash as he had a month ago. I do have an appt. with his ped on the 10th, if she can't tell me anything, I'm going to a dermatologist or allergist. This poor kid has had such skin issues since he was born. Thankfully that's about all he's had, but I still want something done about it.

My mom just called and said he was fine when she put him down for a nap, then when he woke up, his cheeks were really red again. |

ohhhh that could be. I know I have very sensitive skin. My mother was talking about how I would always break out in rashes as a baby/child. The worse detergent for me was ivory!

It could be detergent. But I use free everything, no dyes, perfumes already. Anybody know of a detergent that is really mild?
