I need help figuring this out. Chicken soup is a staple in our house which I make from scratch. I don't have a recipe that I follow exactly but the premise is basically the same everytime.
The problem is that DS2 can have all of those ingredients seperate with no issue and he can even have my chicken soup but not everytime.
His allergy cup is definitely full if I am judging the random hives and sniffly nose. And the last time we had these lips, he was super ill and we couldn't figure out if it was steroids, viral, antibiotics or chicken soup.
This was from the last reaction - we caught it faster this time but still a pretty significant reaction
The thing is, I served the soup at least twice since the last reaction and this one with no reactions.
My basic recipe is chicken (usually bone in thighs, tonight was boneless tenders but has eaten from this bag), box of Progresso chicken stock, water as needed, carrots, celery and spices.
Tonight's recipe included kale, fresh basil, crushed rosemary, garlic powder and a few splashes of Adobo seasoning. It was not salty, almost lacked salt.
About a third of the way through dinner, DS2 complained his lip hurt (I was concentrating on getting Em to eat). I looked up and sure enough it was on it's way to swelling. Gave him Benadryl and sent him in to wash his mouth. No hives, no other issues. It did swell some more but hit it's end and has neither progressed nor shrunk. The prior reaction lasted a few days.
So I am leaning towards reaction but to what? Seriously? I use all of these ingredients often but it seems to be when they come together in chicken soup, it seems to be a gamble.
Thoughts?
