Milk Intolerance

Allergies are a terriable thing to have to deal with. I am finding that there are more allergies with a red headed child than any other children. Second is blonde headed children. Light hair and light blue or green eyes. I happen to come across an older book that was a wonderful save for my allergy prone child. "Change your childs behavior chemestry." It was an eye opener. I have learned that my child has milk intolerance and wheat intolerance. My child has always had milk problems but it wasn't till recently that I was willing to realize that I had the problem with his problem. What I mean is that I have been giving my child milk he has had several behavioral problems but I never realized that milk was attributing to most of these behavior outbursts. I was the one in the most denial. I do see many parents doing this with there children. Most will put their child on medication because of their lack of information on the subject and do not know all the allergies of there child. Well, It doesn't help when your child has had allergies tests and the allergy doctors tell you there is no allergy. It may not be an allergy. The doctors beleive if your child does not break out from head to toe that they are not allergic to the ingredient. I knew my child was having problems with milk but was told he was not allergic to milk. He had a scratch test done and it proved he was not allergic to milk or wheat. He definately has a milk intolerance. He doesn't have an allergy (they say). So if the child doesn't break out but has bowel blockages or have a mean attitutude it could be an intolerance even if I believe it is an allergy. Sometimes allergies show up in more than breaking out all over the body.

I have looked on the label of boxes and found that many have some form of milk products. I have even seen the non dairy dried milk. I didn't think that this was a problem for my child. I noticed that he had behavioral problems but didn't think it had anything to do with it. I was wrong. I now try to watch butter, cream cheese, sour cream, ect... in recipes and in boxed foods. Now I have been making him food and changing ingredients. I now put coconut oil in place of butter and soymilk in place of milk. Soymilk actually taste good in baked goods. I don't know what I am going to do if I realize he does have an intolerance for wheat. It will be alot harder to deal with that kind of an allergy. Maybe your child has an intolerance for milk . If your doctor says," they aren't allergic" that doesn't mean they can eat/drink it. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!

I had to demand that my son have a blood test done for food allergies. If I wouldn't have done this I wouldn't have found out that he does have an allergy. an allergy to Mold Spores. That's is a topic for another day.
