She is 3. She has severe skin reaction to egg white and suspected intolerance to wheat. She had eczema as a baby but we took her off milk and it cleared up. My GP was difficult in prescribing soya formula for her but eventually gave in.
Me and my partner have reasons for refusing to have her tested at the local NHS hospital.
We looked into going private for allergy testing and found a pediatric allergy specialist in south east London. They said i needed a referal from my GP even if i get the testing done privately.
My GP refuses to refer her saying we should use the local NHS hospital.
What can i do … where do we go from here?
I can not change GP’s since they are all pretty useless in my town and the only ones that aren’t are not taking on new patients. (My last GP was brilliant but he retired from the NHS to join the police service :~(

It doesn’t matter if the beef is high quality steak or cheap hamburger meat, so the fat content is not a common factor. They have no problem digesting corn and milk, and have no other food intolerances or allergies. My husband finds it a nuisance. My 9 year old daughter is embarrassed. I’m looking for a remedy or solution to my stinky situation. We don’t eat meat very often, only once a month or so.

My son is allergic to eggs (chicken eggs, I’m assuming is what they tested for) and cows milk. He drinks goats milk no problem. So I’m wondering if I could apply this logic to the egg allergy. It’s a crazy question, I know, but It would be so great if i could feed him scrambled eggs in the morning. Hopefully someone out there knows a little something about this.

Your baby has already been exposed to milk through cheese and yoghurt so whole milk should not have a too strong of a reaction on her if she eats the other foods just fine.
The color of poop does not mean anything unless it’s red (direct quote from parents magazine) if there is mucus in the poop or diarrhea then your little one had a reaction to the milk. Consider postponing the introduction for another few weeks/month. Also purchase organic milk.
Symptoms of milk allergy:
Skin reactions:
Immediate rash around the mouth.
Swelling of lips, mouth, tongue, face or throat.
Generalized eczema on the trunk.
Eczema behind ears and in body creases, such as neck and elbows.
Scaly skin on cheeks, cradle cap.
Dry skin or skin cracks e.g. bottom of the ear lobe, corner of the eye.
Persistent diaper rash.
Hives.
Itchy red rash.
Allergic “Shiners” (black eyes).
Watery or itchy eyes.
Nose, throat and lungs reactions
Runny nose (clear, watery).
Stuffy or blocked nose, causing difficulty with feeding (breast or bottle).
Sneezing.
Itchy nose.
Persistent cough.
Wheezing or shortness of breath.
Stomach and bowel reactions
Abdominal pain and bloating.
Cramps.
Vomiting.
Excessive gassiness, passing wind.
Diarrhea (loose runny stools), mucous or blood in motions.
Failure to gain weight or weight loss.
Behavior
Pulling away from or refusing the breast or formula.
Irritability or unsettled behavior.
Poor sleep patterns.
