Chooks Aloud Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My daughter, who loves fruit, unfortunately has a very bad reaction when she eats it (starts swelling etc). She is okay with cooked fruit as cooking it kills off the enzymes that affect her. I was wondering if I got a dehydrator and dehydrated the fruit, would this have the same affect as cooking, thus making it okay for her to eat?

Christian Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I react to most fruit too (fresh) but seem to be ok with dried. Apples are one of the worst for me, but dried apples are fine. Maybe buy some different dried fruits and see how she gets on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Be careful..lots of the commercially produced dried fruit is treated with a chemical (sulphur dioxide) that preserves the colour and some people can have an allergic reaction to it.

Olly Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have this too (oral allergy syndrome) and I'm usually ok with dried fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
