Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Heaths Mommy: baby has cows milk protein allergy should i keep pumping……?
hi Ladies my son has a cows milk protein allergy i have cut out all dairy, wheat, soy and beef which was advised by the pediatrician ( been doing this for about 3 weeks now) so no other allergy’s come out! he was on breast milk but was very gassy, fussy and would cry while feeding him we changed him back to formula which he has been on for four days he is doing much better! i spoke to my family doctor today he suggested i keep pumping and maybe use the milk when he is a few months older( hes a 32 week preemie) just wonder if i should keep pumping or just leave it there will still be a chance he cannot have the milk?? has anyone else done something like this how did it turn out… or should i just let myself dry up??

Thank you!
He’s on liquid Nutramigen

No most of the diseases that will keep them out is an STD. That shouldn’t be a problem.

Question by momof2: Why do I keep losing weight?
Okay- back history first:
I developed general anxiety in 2005. Fear of going crazy, hypochondriasis. Got that under control. In fact rarely even need an ativan. Then some life changes happened- I went to nursing school after being a stay at home mom for 5 years- graduated in December 2009. Husband lost job in July of 2009. So I got a full time job in August of 2009. November of 2009 after quitting my zyrtec medicine for seasonal allergies- I started obsessing about “what if’s” again. What if now that I am not on zyrtec I have food allergies? What if I have an anaphylactic reaction to food. So starting on thanksgiving day 2009 fear eating food due to possible anaphylactic reaction. All food. EVERYTHING. I started out slowly just eating bread. Then added ramen noodle soup and oatmeal. Anyway I had lost about 15 pounds by the end of May. I gave up all sweets, all sugar, all snacks. Now my diet has increased some. I have now lost 20+ pounds. I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning or pancakes. For lunch I eat either beef and cheese quesadilla’s, ham and cheese sandwich, or loaded baked potato. For dinner I can eat chicken or beef items. I just ate spaghetti red and garlic toast. So I have had major life changes in the last year- new full time job and weird food phobia. I understand the weight loss. Now I know that I gave up sweets and all sugar and all milk, eggs, shellfish, peanut butter… BUT I am still eating! I am eating 3 full meals a day. I have not weighed myself but people keep telling me I look like I am getting smaller. I was wearing a size 10/12 in August of 2009 and now it is July of 2010 and I am a size 4/6. So with my anxiety here I sit wondering if I have some underlying medical condition that keeps me losing weight. I do not work out. There is no reason I should be losing more weight. Surely just cutting out snack foods, sugar, sweets can’t make you lose 20 pounds- or can it? I do have a goiter BUT my thyroid levels were normal last year. UGH!!! Any words of wisdom? Should I consult a doctor or is the weight loss related to my weird food phobia? I am seeing a psychologist about the food thing by the way.

Thanksgiving was 2010. UGH!!! Its been a long year!

Question by mshart2: Why do I keep getting hives?
I just moved from a small town in kentucky to south carolina on the beach. I have been getting a decent amount of sun and using sunscreen. I also began work in a seafood restaurant where I often handle and eat various seafood. I have also been using baby powder to avoid chaffing. I also have been drinking about every night but not a whole lot.

The first time I got them was when i was drinking on the beach. I wass out there for only 2 or so hours and when i got went home i realised i had hives all over my body. Since then I have gotten them about 4 more times, mostly at night when I am at the bar. I am not sure if it is the baby powder but that is what I feel is may be causing it since I have been a drinker for years and have had no problems. But i also feel that it could be an allergy i never knew i had, like to shrimp, shellfish, or some type of pollen or tree down here. I have no history of having any type of food allergy, so i’m unsure what it could be. I also don’t fe

What are you drinking at the bar? That may be the thing you’re allegeric to. It’s a distinct possibility.
