Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Orviston, PA: Am I Lactose intolerant??Milk Allergy?? Can’t drink pasteurized milk but can drink…?
I can not drink regular pasteurized milk (No matter what kind-whole,1%,2%,skim,non-fat). I can however drink Half & Half, whipping cream & canned evaporated milk. I actually like drinking these they taste good to me and they don’t turn my stomach or make me sick.
I have weak stomach in the morning. But no matter what time of day I drink pasteurized regular milk, the milk is coming up. Occasionally in the evening I can have a bowl of cereal with just enough regular milk to barely wet the cereal. With out getting sick. I also can eat all cheeses too with out getting sick.
Is this a milk allergy?Lactose problem or what?
I haven’t tried the lactose free milk because I didn’t want to spend that much money to find I can’t drink it.
It really isn’t that I don’t like it. I do like the chocolate milk and do drink the regular as well. Just in a short period of drinking it comes back up. I never had aproblem with milk as a teenager. I’d drink a half gallon at one time.

I drink the other milk products so I can get some calcium in my diet. Yes, I am paying .00 for half gallon of Half & Half where I live.

idk if there’s a such thing as being “half lactose intolerant” but I kinda have the same problem. I can eat anything dairy but I can’t eat anymore than 2 bowls of cereal because the milk will make my stomach hurt. We drink drink whole milk. The kind with the red top.

Question by momsapplepeye: What is going on with allergies? My kids can’t bring food to school now?
First it was peanuts,then sea food,then eggs,then milk,then wheat,there are so many banned foods at my kids school I am at my whits end at what to put in their lunches.If it is good for you it is most likely banned there. Maybe it is time there were schools that were exculsively for allergy afflicted kids. That would make it safer for them and more compassionate to those fortunate not to have allergies. I have family with peanut sensitivities so I am very understanding but there has to be a better way. I am not rich I can’t buy fancy nut free,gluten free what evers. Anyone have the same difficulties?

I am involved with this and intend to become more so. I have no answer I can only say it had been very hard to make a lunch aceptable to my kids and the school. They can’t have just fruit for lunch and I feel it is only a matter of time before that is excluded. We live almost 2 miles from school so going home is out too. I am thinking the school could make their lunches and I wish them luck getting my kids to eat it.
PATRICIA G F thank you for your comment, the school has sent a list of foods but that has not helped. In shipping kids with allergies to a safer place is not mean’t to make them feel different. I am at a loss and my kids feel excluded. I have a grandson with a severe peanut allergy and his mom agrees. At my grandaughters school no perfume is allowed or deoderant this is crazy. I agree the reasons behind this plague must be investigated asap. That had alway been my opinion I am on a very limited budget which is much smaller with the expense of it all. They can’t bring a birthday cake and that reason is not just allergies but because it might offend someone who does not celebrate it. I just want to give my kids a healthy lunch that won’t come back. Maybe home schooling is the only choice for non allergy sufferers? that will certainly make my kids feel different too. If my frustration is showing forgive me but this bad foods list has me in shock.
Being the written word sometimes things get misunderstood. I don’t like looking as if I am against kids with allergies that is not what I am getting at that is insulting. My grandson has this as well and he needs to be protected in a more reliable way.We have loads of compassion I have taught my kids well but this is way beyond reason and boardering on the rediculous. And each school has their own rules which makes it even more dangerous. Maybe the schools will have to supply the lunches? I am looking for input from all who have experienced this maybe we can come up with some compassionate resolutions that include everyone involved. I just want to give my kids the best I can on a very limited budget that is all.

At least you can still do fruits right? Apples, oranges, grapes are all good snacks, vegetables too would be good snacks or foods for their lunches. Lunch is probably harder to think of. Is this a school for younger kids (like kindergarden)?

Juices would be good drinks that would provide good sources of nutrition (apple juice, orange juice, raspberry juice, etc). Surely there are alternative foods for lunches? Maybe turkey or chicken, or those quick cook rice. There should be plenty of alternatives for your kids to have a safe and healthy (and hopefully tasty) lunch.

Question by sunny: My face becomes visibly swollen at times. It goes up and down from day to day and I can’t figure out why.?
I don’t eat any dairy. Could it be a wheat allergy? I had my thyroid tested a few years ago. It was fine. What could it be? I do drink a lot of water but I also urinate a lot. (my glucose level is fine). It’s like the face of an obese person on days and I’m not fat.
