Make sure there hasn’t been a recall on the milk. This happened to me once. I am a celiac who avoids dairy. I tried almond milk and never felt right. Went to the allergist and he told me I need to avoid nuts and a bunch of other things. You may have an allergy or sensitivity to almonds. It could be that it doesn’t agree with you while you are pregnant. When my mother, who can eat anything, was pregnant with me she couldn’t stomach to look at raw meat. I’ve never been a big meat eater.

I don’t think the baby needs milk. There should be another food or beverage that provides the necessary nutrients. Last summer I was put on neocate to gain weight. I had horrible headaches from the artificial sweeteners; but the point is there are other products out there that have all the amino acids a person needs.

I would recommend coconut milk if you can stomach that. There is also rice, hemp, oat, and goat milk. Goat milk shouldn’t bother you, and it shouldn’t smell.

Hope this helps.

Milk contains lactose. You should avoid milk products. Try Lactose-free milk. You will feel okay after drinking it.

He is on alimentum for milk protein allergy, if he has milk formula he vomits extemely bad, gets diarrhea and passes out. Well he’s usually fussy a lot….he’ll play maybe a half hour then get fussy and tired, then I have to pretty much rock him to sleep for 30 to 45 minutes, he doesn’t show any signs of teething except for drooling and chewing, but there are no teeth visible. I’m just wondering if he could possibly be lactose intolarant instead of allergic….if you have a lactose intolarant baby…what signs did he show?
yeah he did the waterfall puke too…but also cannot have soy, it breaks him out into a rash, and constipates him soo bad he bleeds and

all I know is that when I stopped breastfeeding I gave my baby boy (hes 10 now) a bottle of milk formula, and wow he was sitting up and he threw it up like a water fall. It was amazing, never seen that before so, I told the doc he said baby was allergic, (sines I was also when I was a baby) they said he was also, so he took SOY FORMULA and that did it, he was fine after, and he never was allergic again. so who really knows what happened, but I would defiantly take the doctors advice, or get another opinion from another one.

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.
It really isn’t that I don’t like it as a beverage. I do like the chocolate milk and do like the regular as well. I just can’t drink it because in just in a short period of drinking it comes back up.No poblems with my bowels because of it. It dosn’t stay around long enough. I never had a problem with milk as a teenager. I’d drink a half gallon at one time.

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.

Of course this wouldn’t be true of everyone, and I certainly know that just because someone doesn’t like milk it doesn’t always mean they have an allergy. However, it was true in my case. I have never liked milk, I have always despised it. And when I got tested, I found out I have an intolerance to milk. Maybe all these years my body was telling me not to drink it, as I’d have problems if I did. Maybe? I guess it makes sense.

Is there any truth to this theory?

Answer by Kitty
Absolutely not. I hated fish when I was younger and now I love it. It’s called being picky. Now the body can develop an intolerance to something that you hardly ever eat. For example I eat my meat raw so my body can tolerate the bacteria. Now if my mother ate raw meat she would throw up because her body cannot tolerate. it. It has nothing to do with your not handling it at first. That comes after you don’t eat that specific food.

I would not give it to him.

Technically lactose is a milk sugar. I am also *allergic* to milk NOT lactose intolerant. For me, Lactose specifically is the single worst part about dairy for me – so I would avoid it unless your doctor clears it.

My husband is lactose and was fed goat’s milk exclusively at birth and on. So it should be fine for a 1 year old as long as he’s tolerating it.

What do you think? Answer below!

all I know is that I can’t drink milk or eat icecream without bloating, getting gassy and eventually….. diarrhea.

I’m fine with cheese though…

Gracie Maclean,
If a person states that they are Lactose Intolerant, they should know what they are talking about. However, milk allergy and lactose intolerance are very different. While they are often confused, they have relatively little in common. Most people are partially or completely lactose intolerant. Lactose is a sugar in milk. Most people only have a limited supply of lactase, an enzyme in the digestive tract that breaks down lactose and as we age we produce less and less lactase. When there is not enough lactase to digest the lactose (sugar) bloating, diarrhoea, and gas can result from the undigested lactose fermenting in the stomach. While this is very uncomfortable it is not life threatening. While some chose to avoid milk products, others take lactate orally as a supplement when eating milk products. It is important to know the difference. It is a good idea to talk with your doctor about tests if you suspect you are in any way sensitive to milk products because the results can be very serious if it is undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. It is estimated that one to seven percent of children have an allergy or sensitivity to milk. A milk allergy refers to an immune system response to the protein in milk. Most people are allergic to either whey or casein and some are allergic to both. Symptoms can be hives, difficulty breathing and life threatening anaphylactic shock. Most children with milk allergies will eventually grow out of them. While it is rare to have a full blown allergy to milk protein, many more can have a sensitivity. A sensitivity to milk protein can result in one or more of these symptoms: rash, gastric distress, and mild swelling in the face. Continued consumption of milk products can result in chronic lung problems, sinus problems, and poor absorption of nutrients. This can lead to other problems such as vitamin deficiencies and wasting. Some believe milk protein sensitivity can contribute diseases like hyperactivity and autism. The only treatment for a milk protein allergy or sensitivity is avoidance.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. – MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.
