milk trial - what to watch out for

[Guest guest]

Hi My 2 1/2 year old son has been on tri enza for 3 months now and I've just

started a milk trial. He's never acutually had milk/caisin/soya products. He

was (and still is) breastfed and I have been milk/soya free since he was 3

months old as he had reflux and we put it down to cows milk protein intolerence.

This was long before I recognised his nerological problems.

I've started a milk trial but to be honest don't know what to watch for. His

bowels are OK - he does seem a bit more clingy and tatrums but there again he is

2 1/2. He has seemed a little 'spaced out' this week but I don't want to

abandon it at the drop of a hat and get it wrong. On the other hand I don't

want to take him backwards.

Has any one else been unable to re-intoduce caisin on enzymes - what were the

symptons?

Best wishes

I am wondering why you want to add milk when things are going well? Cheese,

yogurt, sure, but if you are breastfeeding, why rock the boat with cow's milk?

Perhaps you might try goat milk first? Less casein. Good luck! Wish we could add

dairy back in..

>>he might be fine with casein but lactose intolerant Zyme/ZyCarb would

help with that

I'm looking at trialing milk as I don't know if it actually affects him. Up

to about 6 months ago Charlie was restricted to 15 food items and had been

for a year - it was the only way to get to the root of what was affecting

him - we followed FAILSAFE. It was extremely difficult but still much

easier than it would have been when he was older. We have gradually and very

slowly introduced things. Some things I can see he's OK with , some

definitely not but milk is puzzling me. We've tried a few times now and

there always seems to be things going on but not definite enough to know - I

just don't want him to gradually decline or undo any of the good we have

done. On the other hand it seems unfair to keep him off it if he's OK with

it. When I have said milk I mean milk items such as cheese and yoghurts as

well. I suppose I'm also sub consiously planning for when I stop

breastfeeding. Charlie uses breastfeeding as a 'zone out'. If it was just

bedtime at home it wouldn't be a problem but it is getting embarrassing when

we're out now he's getting much bigger.

I wanted to wait until he was established on the enzymes before trying again

to give it the best chance. I have got goats milk but its very difficult to

get goats milk products here apart from natural yoghurt which he won't eat

even if I flavour it with things he's Ok with.

I'm trying to widen his diet as he has missed the stage of introducing

things to toddlers and his diet is so limited that feeding him is a real

problem - I can't actually get him to eat the cheese or yoghurt products to

test if he's Ok or not with it.

Charlie was very young when we started nutritional therapy and each time we

have added supplements there have been improvements. Becuase of this he has

not been diagnosed. His biggest problems at the moment are sensory issues

but I'm struggling to get anyone to listen to me because he is so young and

due to nutritional therapy not ticking all the boxes for autism - I'm not

sure how the system differs here in the UK but it seems there is no

acknowledgement of these problems until school age!

Thanks for you replies
