Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Stef: Milk to give my almost 1 year old that I think has a milk allergy?
I have been breastfeeding my son since birth and when he was around 4 months he started to get ezcema extremely bad and I realized that it was due to me drinking cows milk (I didnt know I wasnt supposed to be drinking it). Once I stopped drinking cows milk and applyed Hydrophor to his skin he barely has any eczema on his skin and is going to be 1 on the 28th of this month. If he has cow milk or yogurt his skin with turn red around his mouth with little bumps and eczema all over his body will flare up. I think he is winding down from breastfeeding (sadly) and Im wondering what kind of milk should I give him? Do you think he has a milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

I think you should bring this up with your childs pediatrician. However, soy milk would probably be okay for the little guy.

Question by Justme: Mothers with kids that have a milk allergy and soy allergy, what tasty things can I still give my daughter?
My daughter is almost 3, we figured out that she has a full blown milk allergy as well as a soy allergy. We have already taken out Milk, yogurt and most cheese. We were kind of testing it ourselves to make sure that was what it is. It was confirmed by the doctor. We just found out that we have to take out EVERYTHING that has milk in it because it is that bad. So my sweet little girl can’t have the things she loves anymore… yogurt, cheese, cheese crackers. And I am noticing that milk is in EVERYTHING. My question is what fun things can she still eat. I feel like I am totally depriving my child. And it is making me really sad.

At 3 years old, she will not know about foods that she cannot have. You just don’t eat these products in front of her or, you find an appropriate substitute. You read the labels, stick to wholesome foods rather than processed foods and you will not have any problems. And, there is not milk in everything. There are breads made that have no milk in them, there are cookies that have no milk in them (homemade ones for sure). She can learn to drink water, juice with her meals. If you give the indication you are depriving her, she will pick up on this. You need to not give her any indication there are foods she CANNOT have but all the foods you provide will be the ones she can have and she will learn to eat only those.

We had a daughter with a severe milk allergy and have been down this road and you just take it in stride. We used only whole foods and she never knew about the “bad” foods until she got into school and by that time, we had taught her to make good food choices so that she wouldn’t be so congested all the time. You teach what is good for them and avoid talking about the things she doesn’t need in her diet.

Question by : Is peppermint extract ok to give dogs?
My 2 y/o German Shepherd has the most heinous, fishy breath and I was wondering if I can give him peppermint extract to deter it? He’s got food allergies, specifically wheat and beef so I can’t really mix it into anything like a homemade treat, so is it safe to give it to him straight, like on his tongue or should I try in water or something like that?

you can probably give him some, but because of his allergies i would talk to your vet about the best way to do it.

Answer by DexterLoxley
tossed salad
salad with spinach leaves
chicken cut up and put in salad
sliced white onions in salad
baby carrots
celery sliced into finger food
cole slaw
all kinds of fruit
fish
tuna fish
make some vinegar and virgin olive oil dip

you mentioned those grains. grains do help the body to digest food better and quicker.

it didn’t list rice on my screen.
rice is an idea.
potatoes are an idea
there’s a million ideas with potatoes

also if you’re trying to cut some weight, go over to worldprayercenter.org and go in to find their prefast diet.
it’s typically used to prepare the body for a fast but it can be used as a 7 day diet that cuts 7 to 15 pounds in 1 week.

bananas are loaded with calories.
celery and cabbage take more calories to digest than what the body obtains from them.

Question by bby_blue_eyes2003: At what age did you give your child cows milk and why?
I breast feed my son and my milk supply has steadly declined. My son eats baby food, cereal, juice, water, finger foods, and he gets breast milk when he has the patience to wait for it to drop, or if I have the patience to sit pumping for an hour. I get very little breast milk and I have tried EVERYTHING to get the supply up and its just not working. i have tried supplimenting with formula, but he gags on it…I do 1/4 formula/ 3/4 breastmilk, he gags…Dark Kayro, juice to sweeten, but nothing he gags. He is 10.5 months old..this is why I am wondering when you started your kids on cows milk. I know they say wait till they are a year old, because of allergies and such, but he eats his baby food, and he also like to try yogurt, cheeze, ice cream, little sips of milk, or whatever you are eating…and has no reaction to the dairy. no fussiness, no gas, poops fine… so…could be be ready for milk milk? I just cant seem to produce what he needs now….

They are really ready by their first birthday but it’s good that you are giving him a taste here and there to get his system ready for dairy. Waiting until his first birthday is ideal.
