[QUOTE="Josie, post: 352167, member: 1792"] For food sold in the US, manufacturers have to list the top 8 allergens, including milk, on the label. I think the statement "may contain traces of . . ." is voluntary. We have found that some of the products that have that warning definitely do contain traces and cause a reaction. Some of them don't. I am always reluctant to buy my kids something that has that warning on it but I will if there aren't any good alternatives and we won't be home soon. Since you are just trying to figure out what food intolerances he has, I think you should avoid products with possible traces of milk. Then, if you determine that milk really is a problem for him, you can experiment to see if traces affect him. We had some pretty ugly scenes early on when I didn't pay attention to the traces warning. If I hadn't personally experienced how much better I felt without gluten and how the traces did affect me, I wouldn't have believed such an extreme behaviour reaction could come from such a supposedly tiny amount of milk or gluten. I might have given up on the whole idea of food playing such an important role in behaviour. [/QUOTE]
