Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Does the flavor you gave contain citric acid? Nothing in particular stands out, and it could just be a skin reaction to the salicylates (or flavoring/coloring if any) in the drink. Don't feel badly. Now you know FG is still needed at least for those ingredients. Did he enjoy having it at least? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this list, for my son it would have been the strawberry flavor. Did this Gatorade include any artificial colors? Your child's skin reaction definitely sounds like phenol issues, and that makes sense if he is generally Feingold. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 If you want to try a challenge, use the Gatorade ICE (clear). It doesn't contain Gum which the colored Gatorade does have. We discovered my wife was alergic to gum (put a band-aid on her and she would break out). > > Hi everyone. I gave in an let my otherwise Feingold son have some > > gatorade this weekend.
