Last night for dinner I wanted to introduce Simmi to the wonderful world of green beans. I cooked her up some rice pasta, added vegan bouillon which she has no problem eating, and added some green beans. As you can see in the picture on the left, her skin was clear when she first started eating. At first, she did well, and she liked the green beans…but as you can see in the pictures that follow, she started to break out. All this happened in a matter of minutes and I put the camera down right before she started crying. She had also picked up some food at first with her right hand and I saw that her fingers turned red, but I didn’t think much of it until I started seeing her mouth break out and turn pink.
As I saw the look on her face, and then the reaction and pink around her mouth, I had to stop taking pictures because she started to cry. She was still really hungry, continuing to put the food in her mouth anyway. I tried to take it from her and she got even more upset. From now on I will keep a back up food just in case she has a reaction to a new food. The biggest mistake I made was cooking the green beans with the rice pasta so that whole batch was infused with green beans.
