Allergic to yogurt?

watching for other allergy symptoms (of COURSE I was stupid enough to start
a new food after the peds office was closed for the night) The yogurt tastes
OK to me (although WAY too rich for my tastes), so I don't think anything's
wrong with it. She's had some dairy before-she was on formula for
supplementing while we got my supply up initially, since it took almost a
week after she was born to figure out her sucking issues and to start
pumping, without problems, and she's also had ice cream a few times (Daddy
is a wimp when it comes to a baby reaching for what he's eating) without
problems. I've never heard of a child being allergic to yogurt without being
allergic to milk, but that's the only thing I can think of.

Any ideas??

Banana-and she's had bananas probably dozens of times. The ingredients list
is quite short-it almost has to be the yogurt itself.

I google a little bit ...
It could be the "natural flavor", which sometimes means MSG, or
the coloring agent, annatto.

Definitely could be one of those. Try getting some plain yogurt...then
add whatever you want to flovor it...it's a little easier to know what
is in it that way.

(of course...you'd probably just try dabbing the plain yogurt on a
small spot of skin and see if she has the same reaction. I hope she
doesn't...plain yogurt is *wonderful* for sunburns)

Thanks! I'll definitely try it. I hate to think of her being allergic to
YOGURT-it's such a nice, staple food.

Yep - we are allergic to annatto - same with ice cream...

i'll bet on the annatto. Stonyfield doesn't use MSG & annatto
is fairly frequently an allergin. i'm not sure why they use
that in the YoBaby. it's not like yogurt needs to be any color
but whitish.
personally i find the thought of banana flavored yogurt
repulsive. i only bought the peach or vanilla (which used to
be packed together. now they pack each with some weird flavor
like pear or banana) or plain. i buy plain in the quarts
because Boo loves it, with no added sugar or anything (of
course he'll also snarf down sour cream by the pint if i'd let
him...). if you start them as babies, they won't think yogurt
needs to taste like candy.

And Sproglette happens to have a nice reaction to canuba wax, of all damned
things. In parents that aren't allergic to a substance known to mankind.

Has she had *any* other dairy since she was tiny?

If not, this is probably milk allergy, and pretty severe.

Bananas: Unlikely.

It could be the acidity--Miss Shiny has decided that I may not eat anything
with citric acid or any citrus fruit (and vitamin C is *fine*) because she
gets a chemical-burn-butt rash.
