Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Teal_Guillemot: How do you find out of you have wheat/gluten sensitivity?
I know I don’t have an allergy to them, but I do feel bad a lot, I”m trying to go through the foods I eat daily. (on doctor’s advice) and I’ve heard of sensitivities. What are the signs of wheat/gluten sensitivity?

Bloating, your stomach being upset after eating certain breads, diarrhea or constipation. Some people with Celiac Disease actually have acute allergic reactions that can be life threatening. Some people actually break out in hives and have their throats close.

I’m very mildly ‘sensitive’ to soy milk. My throat itches and it seems to create mucous. If I ignore this and continue drinking it do you think there would be long term effects? I know allergies involve the immune system and I don’t want to constantly be putting my immune system in ‘attack’ mode.

Did they grow out of it? My son cannot have any milk based formulas except for gentlease with the partially broken down proteins (although he doesn’t like the taste) and I cut all dairy out of my diet since I’m breastfeeding and it was making him sick. His pediatrician says he will most likely grow out of it…I’m sure hoping so!!
If your baby had issues like this, did they grow out of it? Around what age? He’s 5 months now and we tried reintroducing one thing to my diet last week and he got sick I’m thinking I will wait awhile before trying again because I hate making him sick.

my mom says I can’t be lactose intolerant because I can eat yogurt, most cheeses and ice cream but milk it comes and goes if I’ll nauseous and get a headache and start itching… but I can’t eat any dairy product in more than a serving or 2 without getting a headache… I was thinking maybe it could be a slight milk allergy but my mum doesn’t believe me

My daughter is just about t turn one. She’s been on soy formula (and breast milk for a few months) since birth. At the hospital they gave her Isomil (similac’s soy formula) I’m assuming thats all they had on hand since I had no idea about it then. I’ve tried to give her milk based formula several times and every time within a few days she gets diarrhea. She currently is on WIC and they will be taking her off of formula since she’ll be one. I’m just worried that she may be allergic to milk and don’t know how to find out for sure. Isn’t she too little for allergy testing? Has anyone else dealt with this with their babies? and was it an allergy or did it go away? Thanks for any info:)
