Food Allergies Treatment

Question by LS760: 3 year old Allergic to milk,eggs,wheat,mold question? Pediatric Doctor’s advice would be great on this.?
Ok so my 3 year old daughter has had a cough for a little more than a month, the doctor said it could be allergies or asthma. So they decided to take an allergy test and it came out that she was allergic to milk,eggs, wheat & mold. She’s been drinking milk since she was 2 because I breastfed before that and eggs I started giving her at 1 and she never had a problem she loves them. These are 2 main things in her food routine and she doesnt get sick when i give them to her so I don’t understand why the test came out like that. I understand the mold part because this house is old and we need to remodel it and fix it. Do you think I should get a second opinion because she always asks for these things and its hard to cut it out of her diet. & I don’t have a lot of money to buy the subsitutes. Has anyones kids had the same problem and continued without problems or anything similar to this situation. Also what can I do about the mold we can’t remodel right now and i think its just one part in our ceiling that has it any short term fixes anyone knows about. thanks

It is very rare that an allergy test would be wrong, the allergen is applied to the skin, either by the scratch test or by injection and if you have an allergy you will react to it, there are different levels of reaction, your daughters may have been a mild reaction but it is still a reaction and you are best to avoid the foods, you do not want her allergies to get worse over time. My 16 mos old daughter is allergic to peanuts, milk, eggs and wheat and we have eliminated all of those out of her diet, we have found other alternatives, it is not hard to cut something out of your child’s diet when you have the knowledge that it can make her sick.

As for the mold, disinfect the area, let it dry and hopefully there is not a leak in your ceiling, because if there is the mold will just keep coming back. Have you checked your heating system to make sure there is no mold in it? The only sure way of getting rid of the mold is to re-model and until you can do that you may have to disinfect and keep the area dry on a regular basis.

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.

To know for sure you need to cut out cows milk for awhile and see if it goes away. There are non dairy sources of milk (soy, rice, almond, hemp, etc..)

Question by Kayla: Could my son have a milk allergy or is this just transitional?
My son just turned 1 a week ago, and we began giving him whole milk instead of formula. He has since become very irritable, but I thought that was just him becoming a toddler. He has been quite constipated, though, and he cries in pain when he has a bowel movement. He doesn’t have any other signs of a milk allergy, and the formula he was on before was normal cow milk-based formula. I have been giving him 1/2 formula and 1/2 milk and he seems to be doing better.

On his first birthday I began with a sippy cup of whole milk with breakfast, and he didn’t reject it so we continued with just the milk in place of formula. I’m wondering if this is actually a milk allergy or if it could be because of the sudden switch, maybe his digestive system isn’t yet able to handle so much of the milk. Any help is appreciated! We are going to the doctor this week for his check-up, and I’m wondering if I should try to make his appointment sooner or if this is somewhat normal.

It’s something I would definately talk to your doctor about. My little girl went through the same thing. We put half soy milk in her whole milk and that helped. If I were you I’d keep mixing in the formula with the whole milk, or just stick with formula until you get to the doctors. Many people are lactose intolerant, it’s actually pretty common.

Milk is a common mucus generating food that can cause or aggravate sinus problems in some people..

You also seem to have lactose intolerance so perhaps you could have soy milk instead of dairy milk.
