Sally!!! Matilda had 4-5 ear infections a year until she went off milk... since then she hasn't had any just when you mentioned ear infections it got me thinking about how the allergist said that milk allergy causes thickening in sinus' which block ears causing multiple infections. I sort of ignored him at the time, but she's not had any since coming off milk....

We have rice milk in our house, DD2 is allergic to soy, so we don't have soy milk, just rice milk. The Vitasoy protein enriched rice milk is out favourite so far...

For Matilda we had to take EVERYTHING out. And only now, 2 years later are we trialling cooked milk (when its heated up to a certain degree it changes the proteins) so this week we are starting on milk arrowroot biscuits (one every other day). I'll let you know how she goes.

DD2 who is allergic to milk as well, seems to tolerate cooked milk fine. She actually can tolerate heaps more than Matilda. She is worse with soy than milk products now. She can have small amount s of cheese with no ill effects, but we haven't tried anything else yet...
