[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 392466, member: 439"] both of mine are allergic to trees, grass, weed, mold and dust mite, but the oldest is also allergic to cow's milk. Allergies also run in families that have high incidents of diabetes, arthritis and other auto immune issues. Many, including the kids' allergist, theorize that we have over active immune systems. We would have been the ones that lived through the plague or small pox. But since our bodies don't have to fight these things (either due to immunization or not being exposed) instead it decides to fight ragweed, casein, or itself. Luckily milk allergies are rarely the kind that go into shock, so we didn't have to keep an epi-pen handy, but we have had just about every other symptom - nausea, vomiting, hives, hyperactivity, eczema, subcutaneous acne - over the years. We did read every single ingredient label. He can have tiny amounts of milk now (such as in a baked good) but if he overdoes it, it's obvious. [/QUOTE]
