So I know what to look for incase Digi randomly starts getting sick again.. This way I'll remove Broccoli from her diet as a test. I never thought Broccoli could even cause an allergic reaction.
My food allergy reactions cover a wide range - from life-threatening anaphylactic to just really uncomfortable. Broccoli - indeed anything in the cabbage family - results in cramping, diarrhea, vomiting, itchy roof of mouth, and coughing/wheezing. The vomiting continues for 12-16 hours, long past the time when any trace of broccoli remained in my system.

Needless to say, I have not had broccoli since that reaction.

Anything - any food - can cause an allergic reaction, sadly. After all, I am allergic to celery - just about the most harmless seeming thing going! And a friend is allergic to sugar cane - so cannot have anything with sugar in it, just in case.
