    Thanks everyone for your replies. HotI it doesn't sound like LI reading your post. There is no history of LI in our sides. Little chicken there has been no mention of any conditions other then WC, LI and reflux. She has had a few Xrays and other then the lungs everything looked normal (chest and abdo) I guess the conditions you mentioned perhaps couldn't be picked up that easily. I'm willing to try anything so I'm more then happy to cut dairy out of my diet although I'd now be surprised if it will do any good.

    Here is a great pamphlet I just found, but if I find some good articles I will post them.

    My bub is now 2.5years and has outgrown the LI. On top of the LI she has quiet severe reflux and ended up hospitalised a few times from aspiration pneumonia. J could not have dairy until she was around 12months old and with slow introduction now has a completely normal diet. Dairy and tomatoes made her break out in a rash especially on her face, have explosive stringy green poohs and been really unsettled and distressed.
    With the BF I had to cut out all dairy and the odd occasion I tried something I'd soon know about it. At around 7-8months I started introducing dairy again and was able to eat most things in moderation.
