Yes, No Bananas

We’ve ruled one food into the allergen or sensitivity camp for Henry: Bananas.

On one level, they are rare as an allergen.  On another, they are related to latex allergies, which are very common and which he may also have to some degree, as I seem to.

We’re pleased with having suspected bananas enough to stop feeding them to him, in baby food form, after the very first time he ate them.  The trouble was, it was non-obvious what things might be causing the skin issues, and that could, at the time, have been a red herring.

He seems to be able to eat safely rice, oatmeal, chicken, and apples.  We’ll give him a couple days off and then try him with butternut, sweet potatoes, or carrots.  That was the plan, until he saw the bananas and remembered them enough to go absolutely nuts begging for one.  From a standpoint of answers, that worked out.
