Questions about dairy intolerance / allergy in BF bub

[Lisa B]

I've been a dairy addict as well. How could I not be as a daughter of a diary farmer. It's hard initially to keep off diary but I got into the swing of it. I've discovered a cheese in the greek deli called mini chol. It's not dairy free but it's lactose free and made from soy. DS seems to tolerate small serves of this cheese. Some bubs who have the milk protein allergy also have a soy allergy. I'm lucky that DS seems to be fine with soy.

Thanks Lisa. Yeah, he seems to react to soy as well... though I switched from dairy to soy and gave up on this after only a few days as he was still miserable. From what you wrote about dairy staying in the milk and the gut taking time to heal, he may have still been reacting to the dairy so might trial soy again in a couple of weeks.

soy is what worked for both my girls too.

Its a lot easier if its just Dairy so I wish you lots and lots of luck!!! Most things replace dairy with soy so avoiding both is a bit annoying if you can help it.
