Bless his heart...I'm not allergic to cinnamon, but it even burns my lips sometimes.  I can't imagine how he feels. Poor lil guy :(.

Awww, thank you Desarae. I didn't know that it was common for cinnamon to burn the skin! I'm going put some on my lips and cheek tomorrow and see what happens, heh.

I really wonder if it's the brand of cinnamon because he can eat the Cinnamon Chex gluten free cereal just fine, but when he had cinnamon from another source is when this happened. What do you think?

Cinnamon is something they say you can use to plump (naturally instead of lip enhansers) up your lips so I would think it could do that to your twins face for sure!!
They are adorable!!

I would think if it made a difference then that's a good thing.  At least he can enjoy that without it causing him problems.  I do know that it does make my face burn a little around my mouth when I eat cinnamon toast and things like that.  Soo glad he's able to eat the Cinnamon Chex without it hurting him. :D

I didn't know that!! Thanks you two!

I'm going to keep him on the Chex cereal and apply cinnamon to my lips tomorrow!

Let us know how you react, everyone is different!!   Hopefully it won't be bad for you other than the "normal" burning feeling.

Awww, poor James!!!  I sure hope he outgrows most of his allergies!  At least he doesn't look like its too painful.

James is nearly immune to pain. I'm scared to death when he gets into his super dare devil mode!
