Allergy to strawberries?




Carpet Floors - the soft and comfortable side of living.

Just would like to see whether anyone has had a similar experience to mine.
Here's what happen:

My daughter is 12 months and has been a normal diet from the day she started solids. Apart from the occasional organic jars, she eats more or less like us (we eat a very balanced diet with plenty of organic products)

About 3-4 months ago, I gave my daughter some Ella's kitchen organic strawberry and banana pouch. A few hours later, she developed a small, minor rash on her body. We thought that it might been the strawberries but were a bit sceptical as she has had before that some strawberry from age frais (petits filous, little stars) and she was fine and loved it. The rash, red marks disappeared after a few hours, by themselves.

This Saturday, after having a late afternoon nap, she woke a bit grumpy, refused to eat her dinner so we decided to bath her and realised that she had a major rash. Her legs were covered with some huge, bright red raised marks. She also had a couple on her shoulder. None on her tummy, back, neck, head, arms. We really panicked and took her to A&E. When we got there, the marks had almost disappear. They told us that it had been an an but allergic reaction but did not give us any treatment as the rash had gone, my daughter was back to her usual cheery self and enjoyin a nap bottle of milk. They told that they will refer us to an allergy clinic.
On that day my daughter had:
Milk and cereals (her usual)
Half a croissant (which she had in the past many times)
2 spoons of some of my RED BERRIES YOGURT (from pret a manger)

Lunch was a jar of spaghetti's bolognese from hipp organic
a STRAWBERRY YOGURT (from Waitrose, not a baby one)

She had a late nap so no afternoon snack and refused her dinner that night.

I obviously put in capital what we thought might have caused this reaction. However yesterday, in the late afternoon, I realised that she had again, 2 new small raised marks (far less major that the previous day) - This time was daughter was her usual self, happy and being cheeky. I gave her a bottle of milk which she happily drank as I though we might have to rush to hospital again. I called my husband who was at work. By the time he got home (20 minutes) the rash had gone. Now yesterday she had no strawberry, no berries, yogurt, whatsoever. I am really puzzled! We are seeing the doc tonight but I was wondering in the meantime if you had any thoughts on this.
Add infos: we don't smoke, own pets, did not change fabric detergent, our carpet was professionally cleaned when we moved in
A bit more details:
The carpet was cleaned 2 months ago and she was already moving around a lot.
With regards to the first reaction she had (the minor one) it was with Ella's organic strawberry pouch which 100% in it. So it was really some smashed strawberries.
