for me?

Some people tolerate raw milk, and/or goat milk, better than cow milk.

>>I worry because she cannot live on milk alone. Someone had also

suggested sprinkling Peptizyde in her milk but I don't understand why.

She is probably not tolerating the casein [milk protein, a common

problem] and her body is craving it. By sprinkling Peptizyde in the

milk, that will remove most if not all of the intolerance. Therefore,

her body will probably at first crave it MORE, but after a few days

she will stop craving it and be more open to eating foods.

>>I feel like I'm at a loss because she is so sensitive to taste that

if I mess with the only thing she's taking in she might stop drinking

her milk all together.

Just start with a very small sprinkle, see if that helps.

My daughter started rejecting foods within a few months of her MMR

and it's because the measles affected her eyesite. She also started

lining up objects, stacking books and only had a few activities she

would do-reading, computer, and tv. I also couldn't take her

anyplace new or she just clung to me and sometimes cried. She became

very insistent on sameness. She wouldn't play with any new toys

until we spent a lot of time playing with them then we would see her

venture over to them (we later figured out she had been using her

peripheral vision to see what we did with the toy). Unfortunately,

we didn't discover she had an eyesite problem until 2 1/2. Wow, the

difference glasses have made. If you haven't already, I would highly

suggest getter her eyes checked.

Best Wishes!

Unfortunately here in Canada you will not receive any help until you

get an 'official' diagnosis. I'm on a 9 month waiting list. I am

going to seek out a private service, I cannot wait that long.

> My daughter has had problems with eating since birth. We had her on

Good Start formula, as it's the only thing that she would keep down,

until she turned 13 months and we switched her to Homo milk. We had

her eating baby foods and even started mincing chicken into it. She

was doing great for a while, then she stopped eating solids all

together. I figured it was due to teething. Coincidentally enough

this all started 2 months after she had her MMR shot. Slowly I

managed to get her to start eating the solids again. Then a month

later she stopped again. If I go near her with the food she screams

as if it's going to hurt her. Now she will only drink homo milk,

munch on sour cream and onion chips, some dry cereal and mini M & M's

that I have just recently stopped letting her have. I've noticed

lately that her sinus' are stuffed up but she doesn't have a cold.

> Thank you for your reply Dana. That makes a lot ot sense. I will

definately get her going on the Peptizyde. Do you think I should still

switch her over to Goats milk, or would the Peptizyde do fine in the

homo milk?

If you would like to still give her cow milk, try using the enzyme

with that at first. If you still notice problems, then you can switch

to goat milk.

>>If I was to switch her to Goats milk would I have to continue

putting the Peptizyde in it?

Probably yes. But some kids still have problems with cow milk and

enzyme, but they don't with goat milk. Most kids with casein

intolerance, have problems with both cow and goat, at least at first.

Later, as the gut heals, most kids do better with goat than cow.

Unfortunately we didn't know any better at her 22 month check-up and

gave her the rest of her shots. That was the appointment where we

got all the referrals to OT, SLP and school. My dr also believed

that thimerosal had also been removed from vaccines back in 2000-

2001. But I'm convinced that my daughter had at least some shots

with thimerosal still in them. She won't get any more shots. There

are lots of websites and books with information to help you make your

decision. I think books by Cave, Neil and any

others that come up with these authors on Amazon are probably good

ones. Maybe someone can recommend a specific one as I haven't read

any. I have lots of websites but don't know off hand if any of them

really give the statistics (such as ineffectiveness of boosters,

disease rates dropping before vaccines started, etcl) like I've heard

some of the books do. I just looked at some of the other responses

and I see you're saying you are not giving any more vaccines. If you

need some websites that give information on how to divide shots and

other times to give them let me know-there are lots of various

recommendations. Anyway, I'm not an expert on this! If no one else

says anything please ask about the shot you mentioned, PENTA, I think

there are some recommendations on supplements to give the child to

help the immune system but I'm not familar with which ones. Also,

what are the chances of your daughter getting one of the diseases vs

getting a behavioral or development problem (this is at 1 in 6!).

Best Wishes! You are so lucky to find a group like this so early!

I wouldn't put it in the milk, might affect the taste. I'd try a miniscule

amount of water with a straw. It minimizes taste. to introduce the straw,

I'd have her use the straw while drinking regular milk. Good luck.
