I've searched Google but found nothing so could someone help please.
I've eaten two different types of barbeque sauce and some ribs with barbeque flavour all on different occasions and it makes my lips swell up and go bright red and the ribs actually made my face swell a bit. I guess I'm not actually allergic to 'barbeque flavoured' stuff but anyone know anything in it that could be making me do this each time?

Maybe you should try and search for ingredients of BBQ sauce then search for allergy's of the ingredients. Hope this helps.

Something to do you with you being outside? Maybe it is a freaky hayfever allergy
If you eat ribs inside, does your face still swell up? look for common ingredients in all things that make you go this way, and narrow down the list by trying different things out.

I think I've got a similar thing with sweets. Every time I eat a whole load of sweets, chocolate and ice cream my belly swells up. -

Alan: Do you want some cheese?
Tony: [Sitting back, slightly worried] No thanks.
Alan: [Sniffs it] Mmm. Quite nice. Smells. Do you
want to smell it? [Alan offers the cheese, still on
the end of his fork, to Tony.]
Tony: No thanks.
Alan: Smell the cheese.
Tony: No I don’t want to.
Alan: [More forcefully] Smell my cheese!
Tony: Alan, please.
Alan: [Shouting] Smell my cheese, you knobber!
(Alan thrusts the cheese in Tonys face)

It could be a mild anaphelactic (really don't know how to spell that, soz!!) reaction. My mum had one to nuts a couple of years ago. She's not allergic to them but for a few months if she had anything with a trace of nuts in her mouth and throat swelled up and she got very itchy all over. She went to the docs and had allergy tests done - showing nothing abnormal. But she can eat nuts again now, it only lasted a few months. Think she took antihystamines when it happened but try to avoid the type of foods that trigger it as other people have suggested. Maybe go to the docs too and get it checked out.
