    Hi Abigail,

    First and foremost a big thank you for your detailed explanation in your other thread, and my apologies for not thanking you earlier .

    I am suspecting my DS2 is intolerant of milk resulting in constipation and eczema as his biggest trigger for constipation is cheese. I did read up on the subject and also came across A2 milk. We have been using it now for about 4 weeks together with a good quality probiotic and we have seen some improvement. He now goes daily on only 10 ml of parachoc. A couple of days ago I forgot his parachoc but he didn't get constipated and usually he would have been constipated after a missed dose. However I am not very strict as he does get biscuits and other products with milk in it. Maybe you could just give it a go for a few weeks and see what happens?

    ETA: the difference between A2 and normal milk as I understand is that normal milk has A1 and A2 type protein and some people with a milk protein intolerance can tolerate the A2 protein but not the A1 ITMS?
