Got one more email... I have never heard of such a thing and wondered if any
of you have heard about it.....
"You may know all this and it may not have worked for you, but here is
what I have become to believe:
Very, very few babies are indeed lactose intolerant. If they are they
get very! sick.(i.e. dehydrated, not gaining weight)
Because for a child suffreing with multiple allergies mothers milk is
the best food for as long as possible, I would like to caution against
switching to expensive formulas.
There can be numerous other causes for "colic"/vomiting/fussiness. In
our case I had no idea that I was allergic to many foods and my reactive
histamines went into my breastmilk and made my baby sick. Like you I
had taken out all suspected allergens and then some. After testing it
appeared I was also allergic to a host of other things. I hghly
recommend a VEGA allergy test offered by Naturopaths here in Canada. I
was doubtful as to its accuracy but had nothing to loose. Soon I went
on my personal allergy-free diet and Katie vastly improved!"
My question is about the histamines..... Personally I breastfed my #1
allergic child and was off EVERYTHING he can't have now, and he still could
not tolerate my breast milk. My #2 milk allergic child CAN have my
breastmilk. Your thoughts on the histamines?
Katherine
