Sudden onset of diarrhea - Milk Allergy?
My daughter is one year old. We introduced her whole milk three days ago.
Today she suddenly developed severe diarrhea (three diarrhea in two hours). She doesn't have fever, not vomiting, has no pain in her abdomen and is still active. My question is if this sounds like milk allergy. From what I read, the milk allergy should happen much fast, one to several hours after consuming milk. She has had milk for three days already. Is it possible that she is having food poisoning? Thanks in advance for any help!!! Vivian's worried Mom |

Sudden onset of diarrhea - Milk Allergy?
She was exclusively breastfed, never had formula. I am still breastfeeding
her. One thing I know is that her skin is sensitive to cow milk. If I mix cereal with cow milk and it comes into contact with her skin, a red rash appears right away. It disappears after I wash her face with water. Her diarrhea hasn't come back since yesterday later afternoon, but yesterday morning and early afternoon she probably had six diarrhea episodes. If she is breastfeeding without problem, she couldn't be lactose intolerant, could she? Thanks for your help. "PF Riley" wrote in message ...

Sudden onset of diarrhea - Milk Allergy?
I forgot to mention that she also has running nose and cough. But I am not
sure if she is having cold or a symptom of milk allergy. Vivia\n's mother "PF Riley" wrote in message ... On Sun, 06 Jun 2004 01:39:43 GMT, "Yan Ping" wrote: My daughter is one year old.

How have her bowel movements been after the first three diarrheas? Kids aren't very good at localizing symptoms. So if she has a virus, she could get runny nose, cough, and diarrhea. I would stop the milk for a few days and introduce it slowly. How does she do with cheese and other dairy products? Is she on any antibiotics? Jeff Vivia\n's mother "PF Riley" wrote in message ...

Sudden onset of diarrhea - Milk Allergy?
She just had her first bowel movement in the 24 hours since her last
diarrhea. It looked normal. I wasn't able to get her eat cheese, she is not interested. I tried yogurt and she didn't like it either. If she gets yogurt on her face, her skin gets rash just like when she gets milk on her face. The rash disappeared after I washed her face with water. This was actually the second time we introduced milk. The first time she got little pimples with white heads in the middle on lower part of her face, but we were not sure if it is due to milk. This time she didn't get that kind of reaction. She is not on antibiotics. Vivian's Mom "Jeff" wrote in message ... "Yan Ping" wrote in message news:SmIwc.10844$4S5.3030@attbi_s52...

She is not on antibiotics. The plot (and poop) thickens. It could be many things: allergies, milk protein sensitivities (which are different than allergies) or coincidence. I would ask her doctor.
