Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Amanda T: Has anyone had a baby with soy/milk protein intolerance that grew out of it in a few months?
My son was diagnoed with a milk/soy protein intolerance at 2 months old after having soy and milk based formulas. He spit up alot’ had blood and muccus in his stools and was very fussy. A few months later they gave him a rast test to check for allergies and they said it showed that he didn’t have any allergies. So we started giving him milk based formula. He did great. A week ago we started gradually switching to whole milk and he started spitting up more, (he has infant reflux) stuffy nose and sounds congested. The congestion comes and go’s. Now the docters says he has a little milk intolerance. The doc wants him to drink soy milk but, he says he can eat things with milk in it. The docter said he had a soy allergy before l wounder if he can tolerate soy.

My brother and cousin both had mspi and infant reflux. both were fine by the time they turned 1. The doctors said to play it safe and dont rush into milk and soy if he is still showing symptoms then he is not ready to have milk or soy. try again in a few months. other common intolerances are nuts, wheat, corn, and strawberries so it maybe any of these that are causing problems. When you decide to see if he has outgrown his tolerances then add one thing at a time. like milk and wait a couple weeks to see if anything happens then try something else. by having mspi babies have a higher risk of developing allergies to any foods later (my aunt still carries a kid epipen just incase my cousin eats something that he has developed an allergy for) good luck I know mspi can be difficult to deal with.

p.s. be glad your doctor was able to recognize mspi while your son was that young. my brother and cousin were only diagnosed after six months of screaming.

My 2yr. old son was diagnosed last year with allergies to soy and dairy after I complained to his doctor that he has chronic loose stool/diarrhea, and a rash around his mouth.

We have eliminated milk/soy, and he is quite happy drinking rice milk. He still has loose stool, however, and it gets worse from time to time. He almost never has a formed stool.

The last day or so it has been bad, the only new food he’s eaten is Natural Ovens Brainy Bagels.

He tested negative to wheat, eggs and rice on a skin prick test, but I’m wondering if he has developed some type of intolerance to something?

What is the best way to eliminate gluten for a toddler? Remember he is already avoiding dairy, soy, all nuts and peanuts (siblings have allergies).
