Guest guest Posted July 5, 2000 Report Share Posted July 5, 2000 I have to tell you guys about a weird dye thing. My husband has had a problem off and on where his face will suddenly swell. We noticed that it would often happen after consuming medications. Since it was cold season he often consumed several different things. On one occasion we noticed it happened after taking Sudafed that had blue dye #1 in it. I was convinced it was the dye, but the urgent care doctors were convinced it was viral related. Well, about 3 weeks ago it happened again and he was not sick. He had taken some generic ibuprofen at my sisters house. His lips began to itch and his throat started feeling thick. I immediately grabbed the bottle to read the ingredients and sure as heck there was blue dye #1 in it. When we made our recent visit to the DAN doctor I asked him about it and he said, you bet you're right! Now I won't allow anything but dye free medicines in the house for him. Here's the interesting part. We just came back from an outdoor party where my husband had consumed a couple of margaritas. He started feeling that he was getting itchy in the face and had a tingling feeling. I asked my friend if I could look at the mix she was using and you guessed it, blue dye #1 was in it! My husband is beside himself. His lips and chin will swell to 4 times there original size! The moral of the story, beware of dyes!!!!!! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
