At my DD's 1 year check up today, her ped. confirmed my suspicions. Emily has a milk allergy. He's not sure if it's just raw milk, or all milk products, b/c I've been really cautious about giving her products with milk in them - due to several problems before her tummy surgery at 6 months, and then her reaction when I switched to a milk based formula for her morning cereal (she was only getting 2 oz. a day mixed with cereal!!). Within an hour she'd vomit and have diarreha and then was fine. So, we get to try cheese cubes and yogurt and see what happens. Fingers crossed it's only raw milk (by raw milk I mean the milk you drink). He is hopeful she will outgrow it, but no raw milk until age 3 or 4.
My ped. says we can give her either soy milk or rice milk. Anyone's children have a milk allergy? What did you give them? Which did they prefer??
What's crazy is neither my DH nor I have any food allergies in our families. My ped. says that the instance of food allergies is on the rise, even in families with no prior instances of them. Makes you wonder what is causing it? The additives, growth hormones, preservatives, etc?
