Grapes, Day Four

I recently bought a new book in order to better understand these food allergies. In it, the author writes about how children are specifically susceptible to certain groups of foods. For example, her son had lots of physical symptoms when eating meat, specifically beef and pork.

I wonder if Asher may have difficulties with fruit.

On Thursday night and Friday, Asher gobbled down grapes like crazy. He just couldn't get enough of them. Saturday, he said they were yucky and wouldn't touch them. Yucky? Is that a three-year old way of saying that he doesn't feel well when he eats them? Because they certainly aren't yucky in the true sense of the word.

Sunday, today, we went to Whole Foods and bought some pure grape juice. He drank it down happily. Then, about a half-hour later, he complained of a tummy ache, doubled over on the floor in pain, and spent the next few hours on the toilet with gastric distress. Yes, that's yucky.
