Question For Lauren Shanesmom

ohh i didnt know that about delayed allergies.. i did hear that there could be allergies or intolerances not picked up on those tests as well. and intolerance def. wont be picked up too well. and as for shane we had to do the test twice! because the first time they thought they saw a couple dots but they wornt too sure.. so we did it all over and they didnt see them until the VERY end. they saw dairy and eggs slightly raised. soo that could be a slight allergy or intolerance.

when we took it out of his diet i noticed around 2 weeks later that his excema was gone. i wasnt even looking for it actually but one night when i was changing him i noticed that i didnt feel anything anymore! i was cool .

anyway, i cant remember what marshall was on before..wasnt it soy? how long has he been on it? if its been one month or longer than wouldnt the excema have gone away by now?? sorrry i am a little confused about that part. i would think if it was still around and you expect a food allergy i would do the enriched rice milk.. i would think that marshall is old enough.. but i am not sure how good his diet is with fats and protiens and if he can do yogurt or not.

what if he is intolerant to both dairy and soy? than it the excema wont go away right? with that said.. i wouldnt worry about it too much. because, if thats his only sign of intolerance which is excema, than thats pretty good. if its not really effecting him reflux wise or sleeping/eating wise… than i wouldnt worry too much! thats just my opinion. BUT if you do start to feel more comfortable with the rice milk than i would push it further and try that and see if it goes away.. but if you dont feel comfortable doing the rice milk.. than i wouldnt worry too much.. and maybe in a couple months you can eliminate dairy and soy for a while and see what happens?
