Owen had a reaction today at lunch time he's shown his skin is sensitve to pineapple and tomatoes before, we have to make sure his skin as covered as much as poss when eating these.
Today he had scrambled egg, spinach and bread and butter for lunch. Straight way he had some red 'nettlesting' type things round his mouth. He was itching but it wasn't to bad. He ate it all. Then after I had wiped him down with a flannel it went to neck and top of chest and behind ears, all little stingy bite looking things, hundreds of them covering the whole rash area. I think I made it worse when wiping him up. It spread so fast it was scary and he was mega scratching at it. After 20 mins on phone to nhs direct and given him puritan (we had prescribed from the eczema days) it was a little better, breathing was fine the whole time.
Think it must have been the spinach-he had hald a boiled agg yesterday which was fine. Spinach was grown from the garden and I thoroughly washed it, he's had shop spinach before and been fine. So all a bit weird. Think must have been spinach, he had v bad diarhea (sp) after lunch - straight away went 3 times in an hour and seemed to have tummy ache with it and it hurt for him to pass it. All fine now after a grumpy afternoon, he is snoring.
Phew what an essay, think I just wanted to share cos it was so scary!
And Ii feel a bit bad about giving him the spinach
