Food Allergies Treatment

Question by SK: what do these symptoms sound like to you?
I thought I had chronic fatigue but then found out that wheat/gluten causes fatigue. I stopped eating gluten but whenever it finds its way into my diet I am bone tired/exhausted (like sleep 3 days straight) for about a week? allergy pills don’t help much at all (I don’t notice any relief)? does this sound like celiac or an allergy? thanks.

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 cmnc: Does it sound like wheat intolerance?
Although have don’t have any stomach trouble. I have a lot of trouble with my skin, I have a rash on my face, around my nose and forehead and chin. It flares up a lot and can be very painful. The skin becomes red and flaky and also itches. I also have the same problem on my chest from time to time. My doctor thinks it my by thrush and has given me cream for it but does seem to work. I eat a lot of natural yogurt to combat the yeast. So anyone with a wheat allergy can help out, I would be grateful.

wheat allergies can cause more serious symptoms, and some very odd ones, and this to me sounds more like a topical allergy of some sort (an allergy of the skin caused by a topical application). try switching your laundry detergent, soap and shampoo to formulas made for sensitive skin and hopefully you will figure out whats bothering you. good luck!

Question by lani G: does this sound like asthma?
I already know i have bad allergies and sinus, it quite a curse.
I am allergic to lactose, shellfish, pollen, animal dander, dust, bees, mold and one medicinal allergy which is penicillin. some times when i run i cough up mucus and sometimes when i lay on my side it feels like my chest is vibrating or it feels like a cat purr. Other times my chest feels tight and i have to take deep breaths b/c it makes my chest feel more open and i can breath a little better. On occasion my chest itches like when i have a cold (happens when i run). What does this sound like? I should mention i have a cat and live in a huge dusty house and i take flonase 4 allergies.

He’s been on gentlease since 2 months and is almost 12. It doesn’t bother him, but when we mix in 1 oz into a 7 oz bottle, he gets really bad gas. I’ve tried this multiple times and seems to be recurring. I don’t understand how he could have an intolerance or an allergy if he’s on cows milk formula.
