Hi! What are your experiences with more-than-one food allergy? I'm wondering... my baby is allergic to milk and friends told me about other allergies to other foods. What happened to you? Did your baby show other allergies when growing? Which signals did you see?

My daughter is allergic to milk/soy/wheat/eggs/oat/peanuts and dogs/cats. She slowly progressed at about 2 mos of age w/ezcesma like rashes and by 5-7 mos old she looked like a burn victim. The dermatologist didn't even suggest that allergies could be the culprit. Only w/my own research did I determine that she should be tested and the rest is hx 1.5 yrs later. Once we took her off her formula and removed the pets she improved immediately just days later & then we got her on Neocate Junior and now Neocate One + and she is doing fantastic. Some days are a struggle I hink mostly with the pet dander (staff and other kids @ daycare) but we go on one day at a time.

Good Luck!

Thank's Trisha! Me too i'm searching information and often I have the terrible feeling I'm getting more expert than doctors I meet, suggesting them several "future actions" that could be done... and he often choose one... good that there is people like you that helps a lot!

My son is 1 month old and has been diagnosed with a milk and soy aversion, He was pooping blood and also spit up blood. My doctor said he needed to stop breastfeeding for 6-8 weeks so I could get all of the dairy and soy out of my diet. I am still pumping and freezing because i would like to continue breastfeeding. I am very frustrated because I feel that this formula is not the best thing for him although he is no longer passing blood in his stool he still seems very fussy and spitting up. We are seeing a GI specialist to see what the next step is. my problem with all of this is I want to breastfeed him now because I feel the formula doesn't have all of the nutrients it should.

Kathryn Emslie-Do you have a Whole Foods like store nearby? That is your best bet. Unless you live in a small town, even local supermarkets should have soy yogurt and rice noodles. I have bought stuff online just ot find out my little one doesnt like them, so good luck

my son is allergic to milk, beef, pork -confirmed by skin prick test. I have a gut-feeling he is also also allergic to corn, soy, legume family stuff and peaches.
I currently am bf'ing, but my supply is really getting low. I am new to neocate, so am enjoying reading all the other posts letting me know that I am not alone. My pedi is so ill-advising because he doesn't understand how crazy the whole food allergy deal is, so I will be switching soon. I find most of my information on-line through other women's experiences, and then I can recommend options to my doctor...it's nuts!

Since my baby was 3 months old I knew she had a bad reaction to her Milk Formula (Parents Intuition) This is also the time when her Eczema started acting up severely. She is now 1 year old and over the past 9 months I had been going back and forth to the doctors about her eczema, each time the doctor would send me away with a different cream or medicine to give her in hopes the Eczema would improve. Well 2 weeks ago after a feeding she had a severe allergic reaction and the ambulance had to be called .. after demanding an allergy test we found out today that she is severely allergic to:
Egg Whites / Milk / Peanuts / Beef / Wheat / Cashew Nuts / Sesame Seed / Soy / Walnut / Tomato / Cod Fish

I feel so very bad for my little baby, My first appointment with the allergist since the test is Wednesday and I guess I will learn more at that time. My BIG problem at this very moment is my daughter was drinking soy formula for 9 months (which explains the consistent Eczema) now she wants it to go to bed .. what the heck do I give her now? I immediately went to whole foods after I got the call and tried to find a substitute .. all I could find was Rice Milk, when I tried to give her the milk in a bottle she took one drink and spit it out .. any suggestions??

Desperate Mom,
Cece-
