Food Allergies Treatment

Question by kikiM: 1 month old Milk Allergy or just Eczema?
At three weeks old my daughter broke out in a huge red inflamed rash on her cheeks and chin..at her 1 month visit her dr said it was a dairy allergy that she was developing from my diet (i was breastfeeding) so I decided to switch her to soy formula. She also prescribed hydrocortisone and an ointment. After switching her to soy and applying the creme the rash went away as well as her fussiness which seemed to come from tummy troubles due to soy. Now at 7 weeks old I seems as if the rash is coming back slightly. No where near what it was but indeed coming back. What could be the cause of the eczema now….Im pretty sure she had a dairy allergy as my other daughter is as well and at 3 can not drink cows milk. If eczema was caused by our laundry detergent or bath soap wouldn’t it be all over her body and not just her face. The rash is only on her face. I’ll be taking her back to the doctor next week for her 2 month check up

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

My son had eczema and Aveeno Baby Eczema cream took it away in a matter of a day. We tried everything before that, including prescription creams. Give it a try

Question by clf: Am I allergic to beer or is it just the taste?
I can drink all the hard liquor I want and not get sick. People tell me I have a very high tolerance for alcohol. However, I can drink a half a can of beer and instantly get sick. I am not allergic to wheat or yeast (i dont think because i can eat bread just fine). I have never enjoyed the taste of beer. Could it just be the taste that makes me so sick or would it be more likely to be an allergy? Anyone have any ideas?

It could be either. Have your doctor run some tests and do an analysis.

Question by PieceofmyLove: Hi. I am a 16 year old boy and I’m pretty sure I just got a milk allergy. Will I ever outgrow it? Because I am?

Because I am starting to miss milk, but I break out in hives when I drink it.

Question by Kayla: Could my son have a milk allergy or is this just transitional?
My son just turned 1 a week ago, and we began giving him whole milk instead of formula. He has since become very irritable, but I thought that was just him becoming a toddler. He has been quite constipated, though, and he cries in pain when he has a bowel movement. He doesn’t have any other signs of a milk allergy, and the formula he was on before was normal cow milk-based formula. I have been giving him 1/2 formula and 1/2 milk and he seems to be doing better.

On his first birthday I began with a sippy cup of whole milk with breakfast, and he didn’t reject it so we continued with just the milk in place of formula. I’m wondering if this is actually a milk allergy or if it could be because of the sudden switch, maybe his digestive system isn’t yet able to handle so much of the milk. Any help is appreciated! We are going to the doctor this week for his check-up, and I’m wondering if I should try to make his appointment sooner or if this is somewhat normal.

It’s something I would definately talk to your doctor about. My little girl went through the same thing. We put half soy milk in her whole milk and that helped. If I were you I’d keep mixing in the formula with the whole milk, or just stick with formula until you get to the doctors. Many people are lactose intolerant, it’s actually pretty common.
