Following on from Jasmines most recent consultation with her allergist at the beginning of October, it has come to light that she most probably has a Cinnamon allergy.
During the consultation Jasmine was re tested for her existing allergies but, we were told that there isn't an available test for a suspected Cinnamon allergy and we were told to just avoid it altogether to be on the safe side.
As most people already do with pre existing food allergies, we kept a food diary to try and eliminate the new suspect allergen. We think that Cinnamon is the culprit but without giving her that on it's own and re trying her with it - we just won't know, so here we are with another food to avoid and to keep out of her diet!
Jasmine's symptoms after having foods containing Cinnamon as one of the ingredients were:
- Vomiting
- Lip Swe
lling
Unfortunately with the vomiting Jasmine also started to vomit blood so was taken to A&E, this had happened several times with the Haematemesis so she is now awaiting further investigation as to what the cause for that could be.
If anyone else out there has a cinnamon allergy and has managed to be tested for an accurate diagnosis, please reach out to us :)
