Hi there, has anyone suffered an allergic reaction after eating a mini babybel. Yesterday morning after doing the weekly shop my 2 1/2 year old daughter wanted something to eat, so as I was driving home she ate a mini babybel. Immediately after eating it I noticed that her face was coming out in lumps and her hands were severely swollen and were bright red. She then started crying and screaming that her legs were hurting. Luckily it only took a couple of minutes to get home. I took her tights off and her legs and feet were swelling and big lumps were appearing along with the redness. I quickly gave here some Piriton and took her straight to the doctors.
Two doctors checked her over and said that she had had a bad reaction to something although they had never heard of mini babybel being the cause. She has eaten them in the past (although not for quite a while), she eats lots of cheese and yoghurts and loves milk and has never had a problem. We had to spend the morning in the doctors surgery while they kept a check on her and gave her milk to see if she had a reaction to that, which luckily she never.
Apart from the mini babybel, DD had only had milk and a banana that morning.
