    Cow milk protein intolerant household here.

    With me, it's runny noses and hayfever signs when I had cowmilk as a child - and if I overdo it now.

    With DS, it's agonising stomach pains and eczema flare-ups with dairy. He would just be screaming in pain all night. He is starting to tolerate a little dairy, but I try to keep him away from cow milk as much as possible.

    We use goat milk, which doesn't give us this problem. But does give us another in that DH really hates goat milk. But switching to goat for a trial won't hurt.

    I was told that babies who are sensitive to casein are usually sensitive to goat and soy products, because the protein is similar.

    What are her poos like? That was always the indicator for us. Green and mucousy. Like someone blew their nose in the nappy.

    Sounds a bit like my refluxy bub. Have you tried the colic/reflux home remedies? (Infacol, infant's friend, I forget what they're all called) If she seems to get upset when chucking, this could well be it. But there's nothing to say she doesn't have both... However, a medicine like losec takes a few weeks to work too, cos the pain doesn't go away until their raw, inflamed esophageal lining heals.
