Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Your husband may be allergic to the ingredients used in making banana split.
Allergies are certainly the result of food,environmental and genetic factors.
The release of histamines that triggers allergy reaction.
If it is due to food factors we can identify the allergen and can prevent exposure to that allergen.
Thank you.
