Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Leah’s Mommy: I accidentally gave my daughter the wrong kind of cereal a few weeks ago?
Since she was only about 4.5 months old at the time, would the fact that I accidentally gave her multigrain cereal (containing wheat) hurt her? I didn’t realize I did it but I don’t think she even swallowed much of it, until I saw that the multigrain package was opened as opposed to the rice cereal. Now I’m freaked out. I might be being irrational but did I just give her a gluten allergy or could that give her celiac disease?

Answer by JustMe
She will be fine. Withholding wheat until the 1st birthday is only necessary for infants with a family history of celiac disease. Just start with the rice from now on.

Question by Johanna T: What kind of cereal do I give my son with a cow’s milk allergy?
I was thinking of starting my son on cereal before bed. Nestle rice cereal says no to give to baby’s with a cow’s milk protein allergy. Do all rice cereals have milk protein in it? What else could I give him?
cereal mixed with his bottle

“What else could I give him?”

Brown rice you cooked yourself and smushed up with a fork, if you want to give him rice. Much healthier than the processed stuff.

The pediatrician told me to start my baby on solids, but I am unsure of which one to start her on since she has a milk protein allergy. I am also avoiding soy because the doctor said she has a much higher risk of developing a soy allergy. I heard that Beechnut is very good to try because it has no milk or soy products in it. But I also heard that organic brown rice cereals are good for a baby with milk and soy allergies. Which one is best? Any suggestions?

im really TRYING to cut way back on Dairy, ive never been a huge milk drinker anyway, unless its on cereal (cheerios, special K with berries, ect) but are there any alternatives for something to pour over cereal? I read one or two people use Apple Juice on their cereal! I mean I even want to cut back on soy milk. im trying to idenify a food allergy so im cutting out some things for a while..any suggestions?? and NOT plain water! ughhhhh..

The doctor said that he can’t even really have soy yet, either. Thanks!
