is this more than a "cows milk protien" intolerence .. her relfuxhas calmed down since i stopped eating cheese and butter and having less milk ..
but she has had baby youghurt lately (2 different types ) and have vomited afterwards ..
today she had some and vomited big time ... is it a coincidence .. she was put in to her bed (waay after she had the youghurt , about 45mins) and cried alot , went in to check on her and she was face down in her vomit .. she was not impressed !!
i am seeing a pattern with dairy .. but unsre what to do ..
any one with babies who are dairy intolerent .. is it differnt to lactose intolerent or its it something else all together ????
i have stopped the youghurt all together till i find out what i should do
Could well be milk protein intolerance - sounds like it to me!
Lactose intolerance is the one that causes milder symptoms, such as smelly poos, lots of gas and bloating. Milk protein intolerance often has much more severe reactions, like vomiting, and the only way to avoid milk protein is to cut out all dairy. Depending how bad it is, it might be worth cutting out everything that has any dairy in it, including biscuits, most kinds of chips (cos I know that's her staple diet - lol) or leave it in there, then take it out experimentally later on. Small amounts can just make children irritable, I find, because they're uncomfortable and they don't understand why.
Lactose intolerance has varying degrees. Some things are marked lactose free when they contain miniscule amounts, and we know all about it when we find one of those ones . Sometimes Em will vomit, it was more when she was younger, but every time she will have diahorreah and a blistery sore nappy rash. Does she poo much after she has it too or is it only vomit?
I would suggest that she gets some testing done to work out if it is lactose or CMPI, ans they do have similar symptoms, but severe LI bubs will react to BM which makes me think it is more likey be cows milk protein.
Good luck Lea, try her on some Soy Yoghurt if you want to give her yoghurt.
Ususally either a poo sample or a hydrogen breath test, both non invasive. If they do decide to do skin pr!cks they are not painful. Em didn't know anything was happening.
the doctor thinks shes too young to test !! i was so angry . as she is sensiteve to most things and i explained her ezcema, vomitng poops and her in general .. he said "wow got your hands full"
then said shed grow out of it !
i know she may grow out of it , but what happens in the mean time ???
