Viper Report post Posted December 11, 2005 My NT DD has eaten He-nz- Ravioli twice now and on both ocassions she has been violently sick. Here are the ingreedients:- Tomatoes. tomatoe puree sugar modified cornflour salt herb extracts vegetable oil garlic salt spice extracts spice durum wheat semolina plain caramel beef The only thing I can not rule out is the plain caramel or things like spice extract as I don't know what they are.. It has not artificial colour or preservatives. Is there anything you can see that could cause this? Viper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zemanski Report post Posted December 11, 2005 caramel as a colouring is not the inoffensive burnt sugar we all know and hate our kids rotting their teeth with and it is known to cause reactions in some people however it is in a lot of foods so you would expect him to react to other things if it was this. It's probably one of the spices Zemanski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zemanski Report post Posted December 11, 2005 on second thoughts, it may be a sensory issue - Com has problems with certain textures, particularly anything slimy Z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted December 11, 2005 Zamanski, this is my "normal" daughter and the reaction happened a few hours later. Thanks anyway. Viper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenemo Report post Posted December 11, 2005 then I'd go with the spices - there's probably something in there she doesn't usually eat Z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbow queen Report post Posted December 11, 2005 what about the durum wheat?? some people cant have it, like pasta and that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenemo Report post Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) "spice extracts" can cover a huge range of possible problems:- monosodium glutamate (MSG) being the most problematic. Not usually listed as a spice, rather as 'flavour enhancer'. But as it's He*nz, it may well be disguised to sound healthier. oils of spices such as cinnamon, paprika, pepper, etc can cause allergic reactions in people who don't react to the whole spice at all. nemo Edited December 11, 2005 by littlenemo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted December 11, 2005 If it were MSG, she would probably react to many, MANY other things though, as it's so commonly used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DAS999 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 I know somone who is allergic to E150d (colouring in caramel) this is also in coke. If she can drink coke then I would say it is not the caramel. Garlic can cause what you discribe (or in some cases sooth it), but spices can upset tummies and I would put mony on that (if I had to). Have you thought of having an allergy test done?

elaine1 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 wow i would just not give it to her again, but as u say the indgreidient causing this problem may be in other things. what a puzzle! hope u solve it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindy-lou Report post Posted December 12, 2005 it could even be the tin it came in,the list of ingredients are fairly common so you would think there would be a reaction when eating other foods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmooch Report post Posted December 12, 2005 Sometimes 2 ingredients together can cause a reaction when seperately they are fine. This happened to H with tomato sauce with pottasium sorbate in, yet he could eat potassium sorbate in other products Sometimes you never find out exactly what it was Madmooch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
