babies cows milk protein allergy?
Hello, I'm a doctor. Use clarinex. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to ----> http://webmd4.notlong.com/AAp1vc7Cow's milk allergy is the most common food allergy in young children. Fortunately, most babies outgrow milk allergies by their second or third year. In the meantime, parents of babies with milk allergies can be reassured that - although there is no treatment that can cure milk allergies - symptoms can be controlled through a dairy-free diet.
Babies who develop cow's milk protein allergy may have one or several of the following symptoms:
* eczema or skin rash
* abdominal pain or cramps
* vomiting
* or diarrhea
How is cow's milk allergy treated?
* The breast-fed child
If you're breastfeeding, and your child has been diagnosed with a cow's milk allergy, you don't need to stop breastfeeding. In fact, your baby's allergic symptoms can be relieved by simply removing dairy products from your own diet, as well as your baby's. Your doctor can advise you about a healthy, dairy-free diet that would be appropriate for you.
* The formula-fed child
If your child is diagnosed with a milk allergy, and is being fed milk-based formula, your doctor will probably recommend switching to either soy-based or hydrolysate formulas. But simply switching to another type or brand of milk-based formula won't help, as it's necessary to avoid the cow's milk protein which is found in all regular formulas.My 7.5-month-old daughter is on Neocate. I exclusively breastfed until she was 5 months old, but she kept having increasing allergy symptoms even after I'd totally eliminated all of the top 10 allergens from my diet. An allergist finally put her on Neocate, which helped immediately. It was amazing - she was like a new baby within 24 hours! The digestive problems were totally gone in a few days. The stuffiness, face rash, vomiting, etc. took a week or two, but then they completely went away too.
We did discover that she also has a latex allergy to the bottle nipples we were using. She slowly but steadily started getting worse again after a week on Neocate - coughing and retching after each feeding, and often projectile vomiting. Once we switched to silicone nipples, that problem went away too. She's been exclusively on Neocate for almost 3 months now, and she's doing great. We tried rice cereal at 6 months but she couldn't tolerate it, and the GI doctor said to give her system time to rest and heal before trying solids again. We're going to try oatmeal soon. We recently did try mixing 1 oz. of Alimentum (similar to Nutramigen) into each of her bottles of Neocate, and she definitely could not tolerate even that small amount of milk protein.
I'd definitely recommend giving Neocate a try. Although Nutramigen and Alimentum are supposedly hypoallergenic and are okay for most babies with milk protein allergies, some babies just can't handle them either. Neocate does taste awful, and my daughter refused it at first. However, she started drinking it without a fuss within a few days. You might have to do half and half for a day or two while you son gets used to the taste. Neocate is also outrageously expensive, but after a long hassle with lots of documentation of its medical necessity, we were finally able to get our insurance to cover it. If Neocate does end up working for your son, it's worth trying to get it covered, even if you have to go through the whole appeals process. We were spending $ 400-$ 550 a month on it until we convinced insurance to pay for it!
Good luck, and I hope he feels better soon.
