DS ate at Noodles and Company today. Not sure exactly what he had, but there are only 3 things listed that have peanuts and I'm sure he didn't eat any of those. There are about 5 things listed with tree nuts and again, I'll ask exactly what he had, but probably not those.
He said he felt nauseous after he ate. He's never reacted to x-contamination (except recently--more on that in a second) and he's never ever reacted with nausea. Could this have been a reaction? He thought it could be and took Benadryl. I didn't ask how long it took to feel better--I'll have to check on that, but he's at work now.
A little over a week ago, we ordered Chinese food when he wasn't home. The next day he wanted leftovers and I let him because he's had food from this place before--rarely, but maybe 3 times in the past 5 or 6 years--he's never reacted, and we were all home with him if anything went wrong. He said his lip was swelling a little (not enough to really tell by looking, but he could feel it) so I gave him benadryl and told him he's really not supposed to eat Chinese food and I only let him because of the above circumstances but really, he can't do that. I know--stupid. But we've always kind of gone by the laxest comfort zone as he got older and tighten up as necessary. We've never actually had to tighten up until now.
So, back to Noodles and Co--think that was a reaction? I'm assuming he would have mentioned if anyone else felt nauseated. I'll ask more tonight.
By the way, his reaction history: bump on lip after eating walnuts when he was 4. Itchy mouth with some fruit. Bump on lip from banana. Throat tight (that allergy cough) during oral challenge. Has never used epi.
