Does this mean DS is allergic to eggs now too?

Ds (3) is allergic to some nuts and a couple of other things like lentils. He has only had skin reactions so far (red blotches round mouth and eczema flare-ups).

Today I let him lick the bowl after baking and within a few minutes he had large red blotches on his face wherever the cake mix had touched. I gave him Piriton and it went really quickly. It was basic sponge mixture with some vanilla and cocoa powder.

He has licked the bowl before with no reaction. He has had bites of omelette with no reaction.

He's randomly becoming allergic to eggs, isn't he? Sad

Raw eggs possibly? He may still be ok with baked eggs.

My baby is allergic to raw egg. Im too scared to try him on baked egg though.

Cake mixture was what made us realise DD was allergic to egg... Is he under a specialist? Worth mentioning and getting tested to confirm.

Not under specialist, he had blood test to confirm nut/seed allergies and we got a letter with the results. I think I need to go back in!

Licking the bowl should be a lovely childhood memory, shouldn't it? Sad

I'd check the cocoa packet to see if it's nut free.

It could be cross contamination rather than eggs

Maz007 · 09/09/2012 15:10

Even if it is eggs, theres a world off egg free mixtures to make a mess of bowls and then lick - fear not :)

Really? That's good!

Cocoa is nut free.
