allergic to milk protein...how long?
"Beth Kevles" wrote in message ... Hi - If your infant was diagnosed as allergic to milk protein, not merely intolerant, then don't try a milk challenge unless under the supervision of an allergist. Do wait until your child is at least three years old (old enough to complain if her throat starts to swell or itch, ie, notify you of non-visible symptoms). Do confirm that the diagnosis is allergy, not intolerance. You may want to ask questions on the no-milk listserv about this, since the people there are very knowledgeable. My web site has information on joining. (Yup, the listserv is free, and traffic on it tends to be low.) --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice. Please consult with your own medical practicioner. Thanks Beth! Your right, a big difference in the two. He was actually diagnosed as intolerant! |
