• Answer:

  Sounds like allergies to me, see below: Food Allergies Symptoms of a food allergy usually occur within minutes after ingesting the food allergen, although some may not occur for several hours. The symptoms may be isolated only to areas around the mouth, lips and digestive tract, or they may involve other areas of the body. Foods that most commonly cause allergic reactions include milk, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. Mild Symptoms: Itching, tingling or swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat Tightness in the throat Difficulty swallowing or speaking Nausea Abdominal cramps and indigestion Diarrhea and vomiting Skin rashes Congestion, coughing, sneezing, or wheezing Stuffy, itchy, or runny nose
