Pineapple/mango problem?

Has anyone else's DC had a strange reaction to pineapple or mango? When my DS was about 2 we had a couple of very odd nights when he'd go to sleep fine and wake at about 10 and then just be unable to go back to sleep, crying, talking hysterically in a way that sounded crazy (although lots of stuff sounds crazy at that age..), trying to sleep but failing, until about 5am when he'd eventually fall asleep. The only factor in common seemed be having mango and pineapple in the afternoon. I've never found a doctor or anything on line that seemed to back this up (except maybe some stuff about histamine intolerance and pineapple causing tummy pain) but ever since we've avoided both. Now he's starting school so I feel I need to try him on them - but can't bear the idea we may be up all night as a result!

Several of my friends are alergic to pineapple and kiwi - apparently the 2 allergies go hand in hand. It's more about tingly/prickly tongues though.

Thanks MMUstudent. I've read about that a bit, but never anything connecting these two things, or that seems to match his behaviour. That's assuming their prickly tongues don't keep them up all night??
