(He has severe cramps immediately after each bottle, and soon refused to feed at all!) He was cured within 24 hours of switching to Soya milk, and all dairy was excluded until he was 3. He still avoids most dairy (as dislikes it) but does have milk protein in cakes / biscuits / pizza. He has just been diagnosed with ASD, aged 8. I am considering trying a diet, should I just try excluding Caesin, or do i need to exclude gluten too?

There's nothing like a mother's intuition so I would go with your gut as opposed to taking the pediatrician's advice and switching to milk at your daughter's first birthday. There is nothing magical about the first birthday, I believe that it has just become a cultural norm. My niece who just turned one is allergic to cow's milk as well. She switched to soy milk instead of cow's milk and is doing just fine. As for the baby food contaning egg and milk products, I would introduce them slowly and see if she continues to have an intolerance to them. Keep in mind, there's no nutritional reason to HAVE to eat these specific foods, as there are plenty of protein and calcium-rich alternatives. It sounds like you are just the mother your daughter needs...you are doing a great job! It sounds like you are very in-tune with your daughter’s needs and you are doing the absolute best for her.

At three weeks, I switched her to Nutramigen after an unsuccessful attempt at breastfeeding (which resulted in mastitis, and two weeks of an absolutely miserable newborn. She went through 32 diapers in one day, 26 of which were poo poos. My pediatrician insisted that I give her presscriptions, try warm compresses, etc., but nothing worked. My mother had been through all of this with my sister, and convinced me to try switching from regular formula to the Nutramigen. After the first feeding, the diarrea and vomit stopped - it was a miracle! Over the past year, I have had to give her yogurt once when she was taking an antibiotic. She threw it right back up. I know that my Pediatrician is going to suggest that I try switching to cow's milk now that she's a year old, but I can't imagine putting her through that pain again. I also make all of her baby food, and the recipes are calling for eggs and cheeses and milk. Do you think it's okay to introduce these now with her history? On top of the milk intolerance, she's got an insanely high gag reflex, so we're still on purees. I just don't want to rock the boat. Can you tell I'm a first time mom? ;) My little girl just turned one last week, and I have to admit, I’m dreading her one year check up a bit!

On top of that...removing artifical dyes, preservatives, etc...WOW...it really helped his GI tract, BMs, ADHD behaviors, language processing, etc. We even went through a 'withdrawl' time from the casein in milk. He was literally, addicted to it and craved the milk! Anyways, great blog...I'm always looking for new recipes and ideas! So, thank you! Blessings, Laura The GF/CF diet worked wonders for my son!

I'm wondering whether a milk intolerance can show up as eczema, because my son's pediatrician recommended he switch to a soy formula for his eczema. Interesting article!
