It is hard to have kids with FA, everyone doubts you... usually your relatives the most, and makes like challenging at times. <br /><br />Hang in there... you are your childs best advocate and they are so luck to have you.karen @ badlandsquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706161628403647287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932750381169536137.post-13500827849377987502009-09-04T02:09:12.390+10:002009-09-04T02:09:12.390+10:00It sounds like you are on the right track now.

Fortunately the doctors decided very quickly it was a milk allergy - and a very severe one - and not because he cried and was fussy but because he was only a few weeks old and his nose and sinuses were so stuffed up that he would have trouble breathing. I went off all dairy by the time he was 6 weeks old and he cleared right up. If I so much as had a piece of cheese pizza one day - the next day Andrew could barely breath! So -- it is NOT all about throwing up. And the eczema is another huge indication of allergies. <br /><br />Andrew now eats dairy products but he doesn't eat much of them and never had ice cream until he was about 6 or 7 years old. <br /><br />Good luck with it.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741073501328591544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932750381169536137.post-51999781029390927832009-08-31T12:13:26.952+10:002009-08-31T12:13:26.952+10:00So sorry you had to go through all that and it wil...So sorry you had to go through all that and it will be a constant vigilance for you. Our oldest now 7 had horrible eczema as an infant. I also insisted to have him tested and sure enough allergic to dairy, eggs and peanuts. It has often been a hard battle, but it does get easier. I found just knowing what the problem was, eased my stress. Now you can deal with it.<br /><br />Light at the tunnel, most kids really do outgrow the milk and dairy. Our son grew out of it later than most, but for the last year he has been okay with dairy. Fingers crossed on the others . . .<br /><br />Your gut feeling as a mom is powerful and almost always correct.Kirstenhttp://threedancingmagpies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932750381169536137.post-81142063167683187832009-08-31T02:04:44.970+10:002009-08-31T02:04:44.970+10:00Whoa!

I am so glad you went to the specialist!<br />We aren't supposed to give babies eggs till they are two years old in any event. <br />You must feel so much better now that you can actually get some SLEEP! It's the one thing we lack as young mothers.<br />Good for you to sticking to your guns1 Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425123492444675750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932750381169536137.post-15737294322409339992009-08-29T20:05:43.454+10:002009-08-29T20:05:43.454+10:00Oh you poor thing...my sister went through this wi...Oh you poor thing...my sister went through this with one of her babies and it was so hard. She discovered that there was lactose in many things you wouldn't think. It's a hard road but so good that you continued to breastfeed as that makes it so much better for the baby. Good for you hanging in there and finding the answers :)Ginger Patcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447359526530333305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932750381169536137.post-86013456384935973742009-08-29T16:52:41.328+10:002009-08-29T16:52:41.328+10:00Your story sounds so much like our story with our ...Your story sounds so much like our story with our bub no.2. The clinic sister kept saying 'keep feeding, keep feeding" as he wasn't growing, but I knew that there was something wrong - he would just scream with pain after I fed him. And his nappies...yucko!<br />Though must say, I tried going on the elimination diet and still feeding him but apparently there is always a certain level of lactose in breastmilk so he ended up being fed exclusively on the "magic formula" It changed him from being a skinny, screamy little person to a healthy looking delightful little boy.<br />Good luck with the challenges ahead. continue to go with your gut instinct and you'll be ok!One for a wish..https://www.blogger.com/profile/10099477541511907999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932750381169536137.post-48325009222765410242009-08-29T16:47:54.846+10:002009-08-29T16:47:54.846+10:00Wow.

I'm not happy to be proved right by any means, but I hoped that it helped.<br /><br />I swear I can pick a allergic child a mile off now. I don't think that most people have ANY idea of what it is like to have a baby with these problems. It is hard and it is exhausting and some days you think it will kill you, but you keep going on in the search of answers.<br /><br />So glad that you have some answers now and that he seems to be getting on track.
