Milk Protein Allergy

[Guest guest]

My Maddie is also very allergic to milk protein-although it did not show up in

scratch testing-but with a RAST test-and her levels were higher than the doctor

had ever seen. Since we have eliminated all milk protein-and the list of

ingredients is long and we have found it to be in many things we use-her health

has improved greatly-we have just had one sinus thing this year and it cleared

up with regular old Augmentin-and her asthma is better than it has been in

years-we were also able to lower her gerd med dose.

One thing our doctor looked at also for milk protein-were all of her meds. She

had been off of advair-but when she was on it she was soooo sick-and lo and

behold-it contains lactose! Another pill she had been taking for a very long

time was believed to have it in there also! We have found now that even lotion

or bath things that contain milk cause her to have a reaction.

The worst part of all this is we just found this this past fall-and we had been

to an allergist-whom I asked about RAST testing and was told it was not

necessary. I just want to yell at him so badly-because her quality of life has

been sooo much better since we started this way of life!
