Question

My son is 5 months old. From last 3 months he have really bad body rash, demtologist say its a eczema and allergy specialist got the IGE and RAST done on him...We are using STERIODS on him since 2 moths, hate it but if we try stop using it rash comes back. He got 657 kU/L and below food alergies:-RAST Test, Allergy Results:- Allergen, Wheat 15.60 kU/LAllergen, Rice <0.10 kU/LAllergen, Milk (COW) 9.19 kU/LAllergen, Egg White 15.60 kU/L Allergen, Oat 10.60 kU/LAllergen, Chickpea 2.68 kU/LAllergen, Lentin 3.48 kU/LAllergen, Peanut 6.12 kU/LAllergen, Shrimp <0.10 kU/LAllergen, Corn 3.74 kU/LAllergen, Soybean 2.02 kU/ L Before I was 100% breastfeeding him, but allergy speciallist said to try eleminating my diet, which cause so much stress and less milk production. Then finally after all the drama i switched him to alimentum..rash got little better for 2 weeks (also using steriod cream) but came back again. then we decided to use RTF alimentum because it doenst have corn but felt like he had stomach ache with it...got so cranky.. His allergy specialist scared me by saying to take him to UCSF to get checked if he has any kind of hyper syndrome...dont know what to do ecept being more stressed. And said because he has so much high IGE, he might always stay itchy. HATE IT.Finally last week we changed him to NEOCATE, we are on second tin. RASH looks same, we are still using steriods (Dont want to use at all). Need big help and support...i am so stressed about my 5 month.. feels like i will go into depression. Dont know what to do. Any help? Will neocate help his skin? Will we have to keep on using steriods (Cutivate for the boday and destnite for face)? Will we have to keep on giving him bnydral? PLS help me i feel like shit here.

Answer
My son has MSPI. He also has had an allergic reaction to every solid food that we have given him (carrots, sweet peas, green beans, bananas, applesauce, sweet potatoes). His bloodwork came back positive or borderline for milk, soy, oats, wheat and many others. The only thing he can tolerate besides his Neocate formula is Beechnut rice. Are there other baby products he can eat that are milk, soy and gluten free? I am concerned that he needs to be starting solids to develop his eating ability with texture.
