Hi,

I have a casein allergy as well and hoping you might be able to help me out. Do you have perhaps a list of medication prescribtions mostly that might contain milk or casein? I have recently had a couple of problems with medication prescribed. My pharmacist and doctors all are aware of my casein allergy yet I am still twice in the past two months being prescribed medications which a later horribly find out "might have milk proteins as a filler". The most recent problems were with an antibiotic "Flagyl" or "metronidazole" (generic). Can you or anyone you know help me? 

Thanks!

Hi --

If the baby has consumed milk in other forms (cheese, yogurt or ice-cream,
for example) without ill effects, then I'd be inclined to suspect seasonal
allergies. If that's the case, suggest that your sister continue
breastfeeding until the seasonal allergies pass, and then try straight milk
again.

If, on the other hand, the dairy your niece has consumed has been tiny
amounts cooked into other foods (such as bread or cake) then she might want
to continue nursing and then consult with her pediatrician.  A blood test or
scratch test might be in order, or a supervised milk challenge.

I would not try out nut milks in a child this young.  An allergy-prone child
shouldn't consume nuts until she's old enough to *complain* of early
symptons of a serious reaction (itchy throat, trouble swallowing).  Those
early complaints can buy enough time to get to a hospital.

I hope these thoughts help,
