That is one of the reasons it surprised me FC!
She has had no other issues with any nightshade, LOVES tomatoes like they are going out of fashion.
She has trouble digesting red capsicum though, that always comes out the other end but she loves eating it and has no reactions. We only gave her eggplant at about 14 months. My girl is odd! lol
Thanks hun!
Aw, poor allergy people - don't what-if. If it makes you feel any better I was formula fed, introduced to all solids early (including all the scary ones) and I am fine-diddly-ine. My friend was breastfed, introduced to solids later and is allergic to pretty much everything. If it was vice versa I know people would say 'must have been the solids' - but in the end it all came down to genetics.
With regards to dairy let's not forget Europe has used dairy for a loooong time without the problems we experience today as with other common modern allergens (we always seem to forget them and talk about the goat and soy countries)
FC - You need to work with my boss. He is the MD of a new chain of healthy fast food restaurants (GF, vegan options etc) but he had a phase where he was right into the evils of dairy and pasteurization like you. You sure you're not my boss in disguise as a woman
Sarah - The only issue with using Europe as a comparison is that they don't pasturise and homogenise ALL their milk like we do. Many cheese are made form raw milk, many people still drink raw milk. Their butters are made from raw milk for a large part. (and they dont all get sick from eating untreated milk either lol)
That true LimeSlice it's a bit insane we don't have the option here - and unless you're pregnant or have immune-deficiencies then I agree the risks of raw milk are negligible. But they do seem determined to pump chemicals, GM, add hormones or do something weird in as much of our foods as they can (Sorry Heaven for getting sidetracked)
Sas and fermentation is used frequently. Thus they don't have the issues. :yeahthat: Wot Lime said...
We really in Australia have adopted the eating styles of many cultures but not in it's purist form... So, it does make it more tricky to compare I think.
WRT the comment about formulas being dairy: It's also worth bearing in mind that many leading allergists consider the introduction of dairy based formulas, particularly in the first 4 months, to be the single biggest risk factor (after genetics) for allergies. There are certainly other risk factors too, and it's not so cut and dried that you could say no formula, no allergies, however the risk has been shown to increase by around 2 1/2 times if dairy formula is introduced within the first 4 months. To me this is a sign that introducing dairy is something that should be carefully considered and not rushed.
