[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 214015, member: 439"] My oldest is allergic to cow's milk. I suspected it from the first time I gave him a bottle of cow's milk formula - at age 5 months - and he broke out in hives from head to toe. We eventually eliminated it completely from his diet, no food that contained milk, whey, casein or sodium casinate in any amount. He also tested positive by scratch test at age 5 (along with the usual dust, trees, weeds, grass and mold). He literally was Jekyl and Hyde with milk - I could tell when he came home from pre-school and had injested something he shouldn't. That's why we eliminated it - not the hives, eczema, nausea, or subcutaneous acne. We literally couldn't take his hyperactivity, mood swings, whining, and behavior when he was injesting milk. He will show slight symptoms of this with his other allergies - but he also was on shots for many years. His worst offender is ragweed and he does go through some boughts of depression in the fall. My youngest also has the environmental allergies, but not the milk allergy. He has real issues with blood sugar (we have an extremely high incident of diabetes in our family and both he and I tend to be borderline) and needs to have protein. He's very ADD, but we've not found a food trigger that responds or not that way for him. [/QUOTE]
