Milk allergy

[Guest guest]

I have heard that many people with reflux are also allergic to milk. amanda

has reflux and celiac and was on prevacid for like 6 mos and is now off and

doing fine. There are certain foods to limit with reflux - like caffenine

which would include soda and chocolate and ketchup- 's veggie. LOL

Perhaps if blake goes off milk products, his reflux will get better and he

can go off the meds. is wheat and gluten free and I think that by

eliminating that from her diet, it helped her reflux. JMO- not a

professional one!

Ya know about the time I started to suspect milk had something to do with

Blake's reflux I took him off milk. I also took him off wheat because I

noticed he was less gassy. When the allergy tests came back that he is not

allergic to wheat I was relieved. The gluten-free diet is quite difficult

to maintain.

But after your post, I remembered that allergies to wheat and a celiacs

disease are not really the same thing. Blake's tests haven't yet shown

celiac's disease, but I've heard so many parents of kids w/ ds & reflux tell

me that their children also developed celiac's. I've actually started to

wonder if Blake isn't predisposed to it. It sort of makes sense that if

they have general digestive problems like reflux that they might develop

celiac's. I think we will still limit wheat.

We do the no caffeine, no citrus, no tomatoe, no spicy food, etc. too b/c of

the reflux. I told the pre-school teacher for next year it would probably

be best if i sent the snack, instead of trying to explain what he

could/couldn't eat. I assume you still pack lunches for school. How on

earth do you keep your 12 year old from cheating on her diet? It really is

a drag sometimes!

doesn't need Zantac now either? Wow that is wonderful!

. for Liam's reflux I was told to avoid greasey, fatty foods and

carbonated beverages in addition to the others you listed. Liam loves his

french fries, but I've got to limit them. He also has a bad reaction to

cranberry products and anything containing broccoli.

I have several 'new age' friends who claim they are allergic to wheat. They

claim wheat grown here is from soil depleted of nuitrients. That has changed

its contents over the years and made it more of an allergen. That's their

opinion!

Kathy,

Buy frozen french fries and heat them in the toaster over or oven on a cookie

sheet. No frying involved. I do that for amanda like 4 days a week. we

limit trips to BK or McD and she has grilled chicken no bread ( for the

celiac) and FF. It's not very often that she has FF out.

[Guest guest]

If the French fries are cooked in the same oil as the breaded fish cakes and

such it has wheat in it. Also many restaurants reuse cleaned oil and that

still has wheat stuff in it. you have to be very careful.

LOL! We've tried the no wheat just because of the risk of celiac's disease and

b/c it seems blake really has digestive issues with a lot of foods. But,

gluten-free really is a lot of work. I'm working toward a gluten-reduced diet.

I don't really know anything about soil depletion or more allergenic wheat.

But, I can tell you my farmer friends wouldn't like me saying any of that...I do

live in KS the " wheat state " .

Oh Kathy, about the FF's. Blake LOVES these too. He is such a fan that at the

age of 2 he recognizes the golden arches. He gets very angry when we drive by

them w/o stopping.

Unfortunately they are greasy and I belive the fast food kind have wheat, so we

limit them. Sometimes we try homemade FF, he doesn't love these like he loves

mcd's though!

Hi Becky!!

My Blake who is 13 also has severe Milk allergies(he can NOT digest

the proteins in Any Milk product.

A few yrs. ago we were given a book that has really helped us in

helping Blake to have his " milk Free " diet.

it is called " raising your Child Without Milk " By: Jane Zukin.

It has become a very invaluable book in our family. Almost every

member who has had Blake around them has used this book. It

includes 125 Dairy-Free recipes which Blake has found most of them

to be tasty.

The Synopsis reads as Follows:

" Written form a parent's perspective, " Raising Your Child Without

Milk shows you how to manage your child's dairy-free diest

effectively-no matter what the situation. From eating out to

dealing with school lunch programs, You'll find all the answers

inside this book! In addition to easy dairy-free recipes that your

entire family will love, you'll find complete information about:

--Important differenences between lactose intollerance and milk

allergy.

--Hidden Milk products in common foods.

--Medicines that contain milk products(this is a must read section

for severe allergies...my opinion)

--Delicious dairy-free school snacks.

--Birthday Parties and other high risk events.

--Dairy-Free nutriional supplements and alternative sources for

calcium and other nutrients(I know this is a " be wary section for

the PID child)

Jane Zukin is the mother of 3 lactose intoloerant children as well

as the author of the " Dairy-Free Cookbook " and Publisher of " The

Newsletter For People with Lactose Intolerance and Milk Allergy "

Hope this helps some. The book was actually given to us by one of

Blake's Drs.

(mom to Blake 13, CVID with Complete T-Cell Dysfunction, IVIG

every 2 weeks, Asthma, ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, A rare Blood

Clotting Disorder(takes Lovenox sub-q 2x's daily), protien C & S

Difficiency, Sensory Motor Skills Dysfunction )

Becky

Check out this website:

http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html

I have found it very helpful and I think it is updated periodically.

My dd age 6 cannot have milk. There are some great soy substitutes out

there....just beware that " lactose free " products often contains the casein

protein which is not allowed on the milk allergy diet. Truly dairy-free cheese

has been difficult to find and not very good-tasting. " Non dairy " also does not

mean that there is no milk in a product. I have just gotten used to reading

labels religiously and occasionally I shop at the health-food store for

specialty items.

Hope this gets you started....

My 6 year old shows a mild allergy to cow's milk and my 23 month old is milk

protein intolerant- still, Should I still try giving them the butter?

+++Hi Jill. Our bodies cannot be allergic to good foods from Mother Nature,

including dairy products.

However, the rule about lactose is: " The higher the butterfat content the lower

the lactose, " so that's why butter is okay on this program and other dairy isn't

- lactose (sugar) in dairy feeds candida.

Also butterfat helps our bodies digest lactose (sugar) and proteins in dairy

products.

Butter is also antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, etc. so any reactions would

be " healing/die-off reactions " which many good foods, herbs and spices create -

see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal14.php

To avoid severe healing reactions from such foods, herbs and spices start with

small amounts and slowly increase them; therefore the healing reactions will be

less and more tolerable.
