she absolutely loves My cooking..... but is currently yodeling down the big white telephone.... the first time she wasn't well it was put down to alcohol... but no booze this evening and the ONLY common factor is that there was crab in the noodles AND crab in tonights soup.
Given these are the first two times she has ever HAD crab... I'm guessing the poor sweetie just might be mildly allergic

Poor her. At least it's only a mild allergy. On the way to the hospital unable to breath would be an even worse way to spend the evening! Does she have other shellfish allergies?

At least I'm not far from a decent hospital.... but I'd rather not have a second girl go there by ambulance from here (And cooking WASN'T involved last time *g*) she has had prawns before, looks like it is specifically crab and quite mild, if unpleasant when the crab hits the eject button. No other symptoms presenting (Nor was there last time and she was fine the next morning after a lay-in)

It's probably the only way to find out - the hard way!
Poor girl... i do sympathise, i really love seafood, and whilst i don't generally suffer that badly, eating too much of it for some reason, does tend to have a detrimental affect on my digestive system.

My ex hubby started out with a very mild sickness allergy like that, but the more he ate the food in question, the worse the allergy got - to the point of having full anaphalaxia now with the same food. So it might be worth her seeing a gp, and getting some skin patch tests done to identify that it is the crab, and could be worth stocking up on some antihistamines too, bearing in mind what starts out as mild can build up in the system.

I know and its one of those annoying ones where there in nothing I can do to help her through it either, just got to wait for it to finish getting out of her system

Poor girly! Please give her my sympathies. I have yet to find a food or anything I am allergic too but my youngest brother was allergic to many things. No doubt the feeling she is reacting to most at this moment is not her own allergy but the fact she is allergic to something you spent time making for her. ~hugs and such~ Vi "Words.

There is no doubt that thats what it was, it is the only new and common denominator. It is most definitely OFF the menu! | |

Its a surprise to her too as we covered allergy's and till now she didn't know of any... well, now we know she has at least one.
