Hi! I am new to the group, and I am enjoying learning about milk protein
alergies.  My daughter is 2 1/2 and is alergic to milk.  I was told by her
Pediatrician that it was milk protein.  Her main reaction seems to be
extreme eczema.  She does also have extreme dark circles.  Is that what
alergic shiners are??   She does not seem to get sick to her tummy or any
other symptom.  I never realized that so many foods have derivs of milk.  I
have started eliminating all milk products from her diet, atleast the ones
I know have milk in them.  Will this elimination help me to determine if
she is sensitive to all derivs, such as, whey, and caisen??  Also will the
dark circles go away with all milk eliminated??  Should I take her to an
allergist??? Her Pedit. doesn't think so!!  One more question, Can anything
be done  to help the Eczema besides Cortaid?  With much thanks that anyone
can offer!!!!!
