Question Dairy allergy

[mommyof2]

Something just hit me and I wanted to throw this out to anyone with dairy allergies. When my son was a baby we had a heck of a time with him and spit ups... I mean to the point of he was not safe from the end of one feeding to the beginning of another. And I mean a fountain not just a little slober.... Our doctor put him on milk early thinking it would help but it didn't, he was still having problems and then eventually it stopped not sure if it was the fact he was eating more foods and less milk or not but wondered if anyone else who is or has a child with dairy allergy had this when they were a baby. Is ther a blood test to know if they are allergic to dairy...if so I may talk to my doctor and see if this could be part of it. My son loves yogurt, ice cream, cheese ect and a good tall glass of white milk hits the spot for him.... maybe this could be a factor for him!!

I have one dd who is allergic to dairy and one who is not. However the one who is not does better when she does not eat dairy so I think she is intolerant to it. At any rate, they both as babies would spit up entire bottles of formula. I got so I was afraid to feed them and you could not feed them without having change of clothing ready, stuff to clean up, etc. I took them off dairy and would only feed goats milk (after we stopped formula and while on formula I used something specific but I can't remember what and also used Dr. Brown's bottles to reduce gas). Things were much better on goats milk. There is a blood test you can do to see if they are allergic to common allergens but it does not test for intolerances.

 

Now at age 7, if my dd eats dairy, her stomach bloats up and she gets very emotional.

Mary,

 

I took Nicky off dairy when his all started and he immediately stopped wetting the bed. We are almost 100 percent dairy free. I have introduced goat's milk. He seems to be able to tolerate small amounts like if it is in an ingredient in something. He had soft serve ice cream last week and it started his stomach tic back up so bad I think he won't ask for it again. Because I have him on the 15 mg of topamax I can still see if something is a trigger for him. IF IT makes you feel any better dairy IS NOT very healthy so you are doing your son a favor....
