Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Aubrielle’s mommy: Is it possible my baby has a cow’s milk allergy?
My daughter is 5 months. She has always been a VERY fussy baby. I love her, but sometimes i feel like i’m going crazy. She was exclusively breastfed until 2 weeks ago. She has her good days where she’s pretty content but then she has EXTERMELY fussy days where she just screams her head off. I recently put her on formula and she was doing really good for a few days then today she had one of her “screams her head off most of the day” days. She also has eczema that I have a hard time getting rid of. Anyways, my question is, could all of this fussiness and eczema be related to her having a cows milk allergy? I never cut dairy out of my diet…I never really thought to until i read an article right now about the allergy. and the formula she is on right now is Goodstart gentle which is made from cows milk. She isn’t fussy like this EVERYDAY so if she did in fact have a cows milk allergy would her fussiness be daily or would it come and go as hers does?

I’m just trying to find an answer as to why she has such bad days sometimes. It breaks my heart cuz i just don’t know what to do anymore.

thanks everyone

look for other signs like throwing up, unusual red “circle” like rash around her anus, and if shes breaking out anywhere but her face.

its possible she could just be adjusting to formula…i would call the doctor though just to be sure.

For a long while now we have been battling with an unknown skin allergy, she had has lot and lots of vet visits. She is currently on an antihistamine.

Question by treegirl: Is is possible to make a homemade IV drip?
I have several food allergies, like celiac sprue, *wheat/gluten, casein, and one of the nuts in planters nut mix. And I take vitamins but they give me really bad rashes. I am pretty sure I am malnutritioned, so I was wondering if there was some kind of iv i could put in that would feed me my nutrients.

Yes, Jackie Chan did it with a green cocoanut, hose and a ball inflator adapter. But I think the guy he used it on was bitten by a spyder or something.

Question by Shan: If a baby has a possible milk allergy, can you still feed them formula w milk contents to supple breast milk?
My baby has a sensitive stomach and we are in the process of trying to see what works best for her. I put her on soy formula to supplement breast milk and it seems to have constipated her. I have heard that soy is not good for them and that the milk content in formulas is different that what they get from breast milk. Not even for sure she has milk allergy just trying to eliminate that if she is or is not. Now I cant give her soy formula. She seems ok on regular formula but I thought she might have a reaction and it is hard to know if it is breast milk or the formula causing symptoms. She is going to see a ped next week but just thought someone might have some advise.

If you drink milk, then there is also milk in your breast milk, so most likely not an allergy. The baby might just have acid reflux if she has a sensitive stomach. I would find out for sure what is wrong from the doctor before switching everything.

I think you can find out anything your baby needs in Matzatlan by talking to someone at Father’s House Vineyard Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa because they have regular mission trips there and would know anything and everything about what is available there in the grocery stores and pharmacies. Call 319-390-9300 or email tfh777@msn.com and ask for a Matzatlan Mission Team Member. Hope this helps!
