Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Mrs. Beatty: Baby reflux, milk allergy, colic, or ?????
I am really trying to figure out what is wrong with her. It seems like she has reflux and then it seems like maybe it could be a milk allergy. So frustrating! The doctor swears its colic. I swear its not because she is just not THAT fussy. She is 3 months this week. She will be eating and then she gets fussy and falls off and then about a minute later blows up her diaper and then she is fine. Its always runny too. She has about six runny dirty diapers a day. She is ALWAYS gassy. Another thing she does is, I burp her and then some time within the hour she starts getting fussy then she spits up and it looks like cottage cheese. She is constantly rubbing her eyes while she eats and then just periodically throughout the day. She eats every 2-3 hours. I tried cutting out dairy and still do but I have never gone as far as cutting out all whey. I took her off of the reflux medicine because it seemed to make things worst. She was so fussy while taking that and I am not sure if it was because she was having a side effect to it or not. She has gained way enough weight. I just don’t know! Anyone know what I could do??? I am really needing some help here. Thanks.
She is breastfed =) I meant to mention that.

I would continue with the dairy elimination, cutting out whey and casein, and try eliminating soy too. That sounds like it could be a food sensitivity.

Good luck!

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 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 <3 Elayna’s Mommy <3: Does it sound like my daughter has a milk allergy?
My little one is 6 weeks old and we are transitioning her to formula from breast milk. When she was born they had to supplement my colostrum because she was not getting enough and they used Similac Advance. She did ok on that then other than the excessive spitting up. Once my milk came in she breast fed other than when my mom would let me sleep and she fed her with a bottle. She became very very fussy so we just stopped all together and I started pumping. I noticed when I drank a lot of milk she spit up a lot more of my breast milk than normal. Now we are trying to find a formula she can tolerate without throwing it all up. We have WIC and they started her on Good Start Gentle. That constipated her horribly, she spit up just about all of her bottle every time so we consulted with her dr and he suggested Enfamil AR. That worked for a few days and then she began the excessive spitting up and of course became constipated from the added rice starch. So a couple days ago my doctor told me to try Similac Sensitive for Fussiness and Gas. It’s a milk based formula but lower Lactose I believe and she did well on that for a couple days with no spit up then she started the spitting up again and here I am today wondering what to do. We see her doctor again tomorrow to consult about formula change again. Also, I took her a couple weeks ago because of a rash….she doctor said it was heat rash but she still has it and it’s definitely not baby acne. This is all over her chest and back and some on her face and her ears are extremely dry looking so my first thoughts were a milk allergy. Just wanting some opinions so I know what we may be looking at in the next few days. Does it sound like a milk allergy?? I know spitting up is normal, but what she was doing is not normal. Thanks in advance for your opinions!!!!
Also, for those wondering why I’m stopping breastfeeding, it’s due to her still spitting most of it up and me returning to work next week. I will not be able to pump due to my job and she never seems satisfied on it.

My son had a lactose intolerance to all formula so we had to put him on soy formula but he was doing alot more than spitting up he was having bad diarrhea. He had formula intolerance. she might have acid reflux due to spitting up. Normally if they have lactose intolerance they will have more problems than spitting up.

Question by : I think this is part of a milk allergy…?
So I’m allergic to milk. I can’t have milk, butter, or any other milk product of part of milk.
When I have it my stomach hurts, my throat burns, I get bumps and redness around my mouth.

Alright so last week I had a sand which 3 out of the 5 week days. It was on a new type of bread my mum bought. She knows I’m allergic, so stupid me didn’t bother to check the ingredients for milk since I already thought she did before she bought it. The past week I’ve felt like total shit. Nausea, stomach ache, TONS and TONS of mucus, and a sore itchy throat, and I had bumps in my mouth. I thought I was getting sick.

I had that bread again today, checked the ingredients and it had milk and butter. FCUK.

Could all that feeling sick be because of the milk in the bread? You know, could they be symptoms of a milk allergy?

Yes, it could be . Take Benadril and see if you start feeling better. But also it could take few days to get better completely. For my child it took almost 1 week to get rid of all the symptoms after he was in contact with peanuts. But is it is allergy symptoms, after Benadril it should get better. Hope this helps.
