Milk question

January 2, 2002

My son had never had cow milk straight, only in recipes or cheese before going

GFCF. We did GFCF from March/April 2001 until the middle of November when we

started enzymes. Since then, I have not restricted things from his diet that

contain casein or milk. He doesn't eat regular cheese, he still likes the

Tofutti slices, but he does get some casein in the breads that he eats. I'm

wondering, however, if I should be worrying about the milk/casein that he does

get..

Christmas day we didn't have any rice milk at my mom's house (DH left the carton

on top of the van as we pulled away from MIL's house on the way to my mom's..

LOL). We managed to divert his attention for a while, but there came a point

where he was pleading for milk, tears, tantrumming, hand flapping.. really,

really upset. I decided to try him with some cow milk and made him a cup. He

only took two sips from a sippy cup of it, didn't like the taste and threw the

cup down. About half an hour later or so, he vomited. Since he wasn't sick

before or after, I have to assume that it was from the cow milk that he had

consumed.. it was the only new thing that he had had.

Should I be concerned about the casein that he does get in his diet? Or because

he's not reacting to anything I shouldn't worry about it?
