Food Allergies Treatment

Question by ZingaMomma: Does whole wheat bread and pasta have more allergenic protein than white? If so, which proteins are higher?
My daughter has multiple food allergies. She started having reactions to wheat and tested slightly positive to that on RAST, as well. I noticed she seems fine when she eats white bread and usually can eat white pasta without a problem. Is this because white is stripped of protein or, I was wondering if there is more of one kind of protein in wheat than in white.

i dont know about protiens, but i am wheat/oats/gluten intolerant (celiac) and i have to stay away from white and wheat bread the same b/c all white bread is, is bleached wheat flour. there really is no difference where that is concerned. try kinikinik brand rice bread from your health food store. they have a good and tastey line (rare in teh gluten free world). its not bad if you toast it.

Question by winkipinki: 1 year old with milk allergy although he’s had normal formula for whole life?
When I swtiched my son from formula to vitamin D milk he broke out in a rash and was super crabby. (he didn’t have any wheezing or swelling) But I still went ahead and switch him to soy milk. I’m just wondering how he could have an allergy to milk when he’s been drinking regular Enfamil formula for his whole life. (It has milk in it)
Or should I be looking for something else that could be giving him the rash? Although, I can’t think of anything else that he hasn’t had before that he’s had recently

To see pictures of the rash click the links below (it’s 2 pics that I uploaded to my photobucket)

there is something in the milk that isnt in the formula. my daughter was the same way the dr. put her on soy. and or goats milk. it helped her, yes it looks like an alergy.

Question by Braedyn’s Mommy ?: Switching to Whole Milk from Similac Alimentum?
My son is 1 yr. old now and has been on Similac Alimentum since he was 3 months old due to cow milk protein allergies and some reflux. I have been doing half formula and half whole milk for about a week now. He has had some weird bowel movements.. today it was orange. He has anywhere from 4-6 a day.. which is not normal for him. Is this a normal result from the transition to whole milk or should I be concerned. Any help would be appreciated. (:

Question by Madison’s mommy <3: Giving my 10 month old Whole Milk and skip the formula?
I know that you are not supposed to give whole milk until the baby is a year old, but I was wandering if any of you started earlier than a year? If you started at around 11 months, what would be the harm as long as the baby has no allergies?

At 11 months you can do half whole milk half formula so that they get used to the whole milk

Question by Aubree’s Momma?: Should we do cows milk (whole or 2 %) or soy milk?
I am asking again because Im hoping Pippin will see. I love her answers.

Ive been giving Aubree chese and yogurt for a couple of months now. She does perfectly fine with it. Would you say that she has outgrown the milk allergy?

Her Pediatrician diagnosed her over the phone, without seeing her.. after we found a tiny bit of blood in her stool around 1-2 months old.

Gosh.. you dont like my answers I am so offended =(

When my son was a baby one doctor put him on soy.. his new doctor (who i loved oh so much!) said it effects their development.. but mostly in boys, so I am not quite sure about girls….

But to my understanding they are supposed to be on whole milk from 12-24 months… (of course I personally gave whole milk I get from WIC them 2% or whatever, mostly even 1%)

EDA My son had a milk allegy and it went away.. his WHOLE back broke out with the first change to milk… he does fine now with it,
