Food Allergies Treatment

Question by hearts_bleed_dark: Is it okay to mix milk with formula to get my seven month old used to it or should i not use milk til 1 year?
my husband wants me to start mixing milk with his formula and I have always heard that if you give a child milk before they are a year old it can cause them to have worse allergies.. he’s almost eight months, and a friend of ours did this with their child at five months but im just not sure about it.

WAIT!! I tried it with my youngest son and he would have seriously bad diarrea because their little tummies cannot digest it yet.

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 Stef: Milk to give my almost 1 year old that I think has a milk allergy?
I have been breastfeeding my son since birth and when he was around 4 months he started to get ezcema extremely bad and I realized that it was due to me drinking cows milk (I didnt know I wasnt supposed to be drinking it). Once I stopped drinking cows milk and applyed Hydrophor to his skin he barely has any eczema on his skin and is going to be 1 on the 28th of this month. If he has cow milk or yogurt his skin with turn red around his mouth with little bumps and eczema all over his body will flare up. I think he is winding down from breastfeeding (sadly) and Im wondering what kind of milk should I give him? Do you think he has a milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

I think you should bring this up with your childs pediatrician. However, soy milk would probably be okay for the little guy.

Question by sykatlee: My one year old won’t drink cow’s milk.?
My daughter had extreme milk allergies when she was born so she was on a formla called Neocate. I switched her to cow’s milk about 1 month ago and she had no problems with the cow’s milk. She started refusing to drink milk about 1 week ago. I tried chocolate and strawberry milk in a bottle and a sippy cup but she refuses. What can I do? I tried giving her cheese but she doesn tlike that either.
