introduction and help with 17 mo old. milk allergies

[Guest guest]

I'm allergic to milk also. Only milk - cheese, yogurt and ice cream (in

reasonable amounts) don't bother me. The doctor diagnosed me finally after

years of trouble when I was pregnant with my daughter - even on Phenergan, I

still threw up every time I drank milk in any form. When my son was seeing

the allergist, he told me that sometimes it's the milk that's the problem,

but that some change occurs when they're made into cheese and yogurt. It

may not happen with ice cream, but who can live with no ice cream in their

lives?

There is lactaid for lactose intolerance. Also soy milk is an acceptable

alternative after a year old.

 

From experience as a daycare provider I have seen children who spt up

regular milk who were able to still eat cheese and yogurt. I was told it has

to do with the bacteria needed to culture them. Also butter can be used in

small amounts.

There are also avacados, nuts (safe after 1 year), nut butters ect.

Hope that helps
