Day Three

So, it looks like the little boy is allergic to tannin. I've been peeling his grapes and no reaction the last three days. Sigh. I guess I'm going to have to get used to peeling them for him.

Does this mean NO RED WINE? Break it to him gently! There is always beer.

Nooo... :(
No red wine for the baby cousin!
I hope the eczema clears up soon.

Oh no, it's more than just wine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannin#Foods_with_tannins):
* tea
* pomegranates
* persimmons
* berries (just like Andrew)
* smoked foods (noo...)
* beer
* citrus, fruit juices (I might be allergic to this too)
* condiments (vanilla??? cumin?)
* legumes

Poor, poor boy. :(

Thanks for your concern about his future drinking habits. But don't worry -- I hear that babies sometimes outgrow these things. I will experiment on the boy again in the future.
