Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 My daughter has a lot of food sensitivities, and that's usually the first sign that she's eaten of them - flushed cheeks. Not *hot* but a little warm. Usually clears up when the food is out of her system. Does anyone know why someone's cheeks would be red for a week, hot to the touch, but not sick?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks, I think I found the culprit..........Just this week I bought some luffa sponges and a synthethic oval sponge for her face, (the kind that's white and looks like cotton but it's kind of like plastic) she was also given a bath kit for her B-Day with soaps she recently used. I will eliminate them and see if it goes away. Thanks for your reply. Food sensitivities aren't out of the question.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi Jeanie, You may want to rule out cellulitis, a skin infection that my daughter had when she was five years old (11 years ago). I had never heard about it, but decided to go to our pediatrician to check it out. He said if I had waited one more day, she would have been admitted to the hospital as it needs to be treated immediately with antibiotics. I Googled "cellulitis cheek" to find a photo of how my daughter's slightly red cheek (just one) looked at the time. I copied the photo in this email, but I'm not sure if it will appear here: I don't want to alarm you, however, if it is cellulitis, it could be a serious condition. B.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Faith, if you've been exposed to something bad, chemicals, etc. you react to the slightest things that contain what you were exposed to. I've found that ever since the Miralax, my dd breaks out in a rash from everything now. Never before. Sometimes I say she'll get a rash if you look at her funny.................LOL! She even reacts to Dove sensitive skin soap, other times she doesn't? You can get allergy testing done.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think the easiest way to see if there are food sensitivities is to do elimination dieting (remove one food at a time). There are some good resources on that on the web if you google elimination dieting. It's my understanding that four most common food sensitivities are gluten, diary, soy and corn - so that's a good place to start. I eventually did IgG testing which confirmed and also showed she had other sensitivities. 29 in total! The ones we most carefully avoid are: casein, gluten, soy, peanuts, coconut, and almonds. Eliminating foods has done a lot of good for my daughter from (mostly) a behavior standpoint, but also seems to help her language and eye contact (she has Asperger's). The most significant thing though has been that it's gotten rid of a very persistent rash (along with probiotics). Good luck! My daughter does the same thing.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have cut out gluten and casein before but no real results. What doc will do the IGG testing so far I can't find one that will do it.
