I have done a lot of research that shows that cows milk causes allergies in many of us with symptoms mild enough that we do not show it. I breastfeed my son and if I have any form of dairy, Isaac is constipated and cranky. My other son cannot tolerate pediasure because he vomits. He is on a feeding tube. My 5 year old used to have asthma when drinking milk and my 7 year old had constant ear infections on milk. Out of 4 doctors none of them told me this. All of my children have rice milk and get their fats from avocados, almonds, sunflower seeds. They are very healthy and now visit the doctor once a year. I stick to a natural foods diet.
