Has your son been checked for gluten intoleance. This is not an allergy but
a autoimmune problem. It can sause diarrhea as well as many other
problems.Recent studies indicate that the incidence is quite high as much
as 1/133 or more. A pediatric gastroenterologist is the one to diagnose it.

Subject: dairy allergy and maybe what else?
Hi Everyone,=0D
=0D
My son is 5 and is dairy allergic. He is not anaphylactic though - sympt=
oms range from diarrhea to eczema (among others). I've noticed recently =
that his eczema is really acting up on his face and arms with some itchin=
ess. He has not changed his diet and stays away from all dairy. Does an=
yone have any ideas what else could cause this? Is it possible it could =
be environmental? Thanks, Debby.
