Can A Child Be Allergic To Pop?
Posted by: Alan in Constipation in Children, tags: Allergic, Child
My 7yr. old gets pop as a treat when we eat out. Diet or regular. He always gets a stomach ache. While eating he had to use the bathroom. After eating he said his stomach hurts & felt like throwing up, turned pale, shivers, gets hot, had RED blotches on both sides of his face & chest. He doesn’t want me to talk to him when this is going on. It passes in a couple of minutes. Then he says he is fine. He always has stomach aches at his belly button. I told his new doctor & he said oh it is constipation. But I forgot to mention these episodes. He has been on clonidine since June for ADHD & to help him sleep. Is pop causing this? Had constipation when younger & now he goes so big it will plug up the toilet. Don’t think he had these episodes before the clonidine but yes on stomach aches & the episodes only seem to be when eating out.

Pop isn’t good for him anyway! I don’t know about allergies, but it is full of chemicals and sugar.
Water is best, but if he really must have something sweet, get him natural fruit juice instead! My 3-year old hates pop, and I’m so happy about it!

It is possible that he is having a reaction to something in the pop. I would suggest that the next time you eat out to not let him have any and see if it happens again.

Even if he is not allergic to it, please avoid giving your child soda. It is unhealthy…
