I was wondering what other people's experiences were with the very first time they had any kind of reaction to a food they were subsequently anaphylactic to? Is there usually a tingling tongue or do people have a variety of first signs or symptoms? My daughter has had a red face upon eating some things, a runny nose to others. We know she is severely allergic to peanuts and sesame and she only had oral complaints to these before we had her tested.
There is a great article here about allergies and specifically there is a section about food allergies. I know I get the scratchy throat when I have eaten something that is going to cause me grief. Sometimes I will wheeze and cough but not often.
Good luck and let us know how you and your Daughter are doing!
