mom whos DC has dairy/soy allergies. I have a ton of questions.

What kind of milk does your DC drink or are they still on formula? Also has anyone’s DC test negative for a soy allergy but still has one anyway. Ds tested at a 2 for dairy and a 0 for Soy, but once we switched him to soy, he started to sleep horrible at night, and then yesterday he started with blood in his stool again. So DH is taking him tot he GI dr at 345pm today. Do you think they will make us go for more testing?


My Ds is 15 months.

YES Jill....

Em originally tested positive for soy on the skin prick test.

the bloodwork came back as negative....HOWEVER, if she has anything with pure SOY in it - she breaks out in a rash... She can handle the 'soy lechitin' and any 'soybean oil' - but if an ingredient of SOY is there - forget it - rash city....

Em drinks regular milk - as her issue is soy...but at Wegman's - you can get ALL kinds of milk. Coconut, Almond, etc...

You really need to read the labels even on soy products, there may be dairy in it. That happened to me with DD when I was nursing that is how I found out that some soy products, like stoneyfields contain traces of milk in it.

I would try Silk. If there is still an issue then I would try giving him Almond milk. My DD loves it.
