Question by Amie: is this a true food allergy????????
My 9 year old step daughter was diagnosed with food allergies when she was almost 7. she was quite the chubby little thing and now is quite slender. her mother said that she is allergic to wheat and milk, and chocolate. well I know that before the diagnosis she never complained about stuff that she ate. and I also know that when you get tested many of times it is false positave. some weekends when she is here she will eat stuff she is not supposeto and no reaction then other times when she almost is in need from attention from mommy she says my tummy hurts. I think that she complains about illness to get moms attention. and she is quite the hypochondriac with other things too. but this food allergy thing is making me crazy she cant have it if it is good for her but if she wants a peice of cake or a cookie or candy bar then she eats it no problem. she never has visible symptoms well her mom says she gets white milk dots on her nose (never seen by us), and her tummy hurts. helpplz

First of all, the only thing that causes allergies must contain a protein. If it does not have a protein, the problem can be a food sensitivity.

There is a simple test that you can do to determine if she has an allergy or a food sensitivity to something. Have her sit in a chair and wait until her heart rate is constant, about 5 minutes. Then take her pulse for a full 60 seconds. Don’t do the 15 sec. multiply by 4 thing, a full 60 seconds. Write down the number. Now have her chew the thing you believe she is allergic or sensitive too for about 30 seconds. Keep it in her mouth and then take her pulse again for the full 60 seconds. Write that number down.

If there is an increase in the pulse over 6 beats, she has an allergy (if protein based) or a food sensitivity. I suggest the milk you are feeding her may be pasteurized and homogenized. That is garbage and it’s no wonder she may have a reaction to that junk. What you want to give her is RAW milk that is from cows fed grass, not some grain fed, sick cow they make the pasteurized garbage from. Most likely she is not allergic, but the altered calcium – chards of crushed amino acids that elicit a homocystein response in the body could be the real problem she has with milk.

Go to: www.organicpastures.com and look at the FAQ’s for more information on the high quality raw milk they sell.

good luck to you

Question by : Could I have a food allergy?
I’ve had chronic headache(s) for 4 years. Last year, I went to a chiropractor for a while. She thought I may have food allergies. So, I got my blood tested, and it turned out I was allergic to: corn, tomatoes, dairy, soy, wheat, oranges, and peanuts. So I went a few months without eating these, but nothing happened. So, I gave up on that. Now, I don’t know if I was supposed to fast or not before the test, because she didn’t tell me, but I didn’t. Could that have affected the results? Also, we told my doctor about the allergy test, and her reaction was (I’m paraphrasing here) “no, that’s stupid.” But could I have one? Did I just not give it long enough for the foods to leave my body and stuff?

I have never known the doctor to test blood for allergic reactions. I though it was just skin. That’s what I got tested. Do you know if you have bad sinuses? If so you may have chronic sinus infections. Also, see if you are allergic to pollen.

Question by flourpower: Could my little girl have a milk allergy?
My daughter is 5 months old now. She is bottle fed, and we have had her on just regular dairy based formula. Since she was about a month old she has always spit up quit a bit after every bottle. We talked to her ped. about it and she suggested that “we feed her too much at one time” so we cut back and it didn’t change anything. When I asked the ped. again she said the same thing. (Ugh.) So I started to think perhaps it was reflux. I switched her over to Enfamil AR, which has rice starch in it so it is thicker, supposed to help with spitting up. It seemed to help for maybe a day or two but the spitting up seems to be back to normal now. I am wondering if she might have a milk protein intollerance? She recently has been having lots of small diarrhea like bowel movements, usually when she is eating, her stool is mucusy, she seems to be in pain when she is eating (arching her back, kicking out her legs, crying, pulling bottle out of her mouth), and just today I noticed a small rash on her arm. I am wondering if these sound like a milk protein allergy to anybody, or if anybody has expirienced similar symptoms? I know I should cal her ped. and ask her but everytime I bring up a concern she just says the same thing, that I am feeding her too much too often or that I don’t burp her enough, etc. Any suggestions/ideas/input is very helpful! Thank you!!

My girl has a milk allergy and didn’t have any spitting up or rashes but was absolutely miserable, screaming all day and she did pull away, arch her back and have bloody/mucousy stools. The pulling/arching could have been anything related to discomfort, but the bloody diapers sealed the deal that it was an allergy. We switched her to Alimentum and she was a new baby in a few days.
