Infants with Milk Protein Allergies?? Does Anybody Know about this??? Also has anybodys baby been this sick?

Wow, I am sure they have run all the blood tests on him to look for an immune problem right? Milk Protein Allergy isn't cured it is treated by not exposing to dairy. You have to really watch what they eat or drink for the rest of their lives in some cases. Sometimes a child may outgrow it as they get older sometimes they won't. It can be scary. My 15 month old is having more blood work done and an MRI because he has had diarrhea so much that they think it has turned into a vitamin deficiency now and he has stopped gaining weight. It is scary. He was fullterm, I was induced at 39 wks. He was over 8 lbs and other than jaundice he had no problems. Never had a solid bowel movement, was fed for 12 1/2 months with formula only in the beginning for the jaundice and towards the end he had some when he would go to his dads. Since I stopped feeding he has gotten really sick and now he is on lactose free milk only and I have to watch everything he eats and drinks to watch for allergic reactions. Food allergies can do a lot of damage in someone so young. The things you describe do sound like it would require maybe a GI specialist and allergy specialist. Ask your pediatrician for a referral for him.
