Two weeks ago DS's eyes reacted after dinner. The seemed to swell on the tear duct side, making him look like he didn't have a bridge of his nose. He was fine in himself, except for itching eyes. We called NHS direct and took him to A&E on their recommendation. At the hospital they took one look at him and said it was hayfever. I wasn't convinced as that day had been raining and within 24 hours it was clear. He has had no other reaction until last night when the same thing happened.
I realised that I had given him the same dinner both times. The first time I disregarded it as being a reaction to the food as it was a Dahl, which I considered to be pretty harmless. Now, however, I can only link it to that. I have one more portion in the freezer and I will try given it to him again, but could he really be allergic to one of the ingredients? I made it myself and all it has in it is red lentils, onions, carrots, turmeric and coriander. He has onions and carrot frequently and he has lentils plenty of times before. So, it must be the spices.
I must add that he has an egg intolerance, but the reaction is very different to the one he had last night.
Has anyone had the same experience?
