My daughter 2 year old is suffering from atopic dermatisis that is
food allergy and also allergy with milk and mikl products. She is itching all the time and rashes all over her body. This started when she became one year old and she is allergic to most of products like wheat, rice pulses, vegetables, fruits, milk and little less to chicken. kindly let me know what type of treatment is available in allopthy, homeopathy or ayurveda.
My son was diagnosticated with atopic
dermatitis when he was two months old. Since there he was feeded with soy milk formula only. No breastfeed nor other food. Nowdays, he is one year old and has developed intolerance to soy milk too.My son's physician recommended me to feed him with neocate and keep him with no other food yet. So, my son will not eat another thing different from neocate. Is neocate formula enough in nutrients and
vitamins for my child that no eat any else?
I recieved an answer to my quiestion that I had asked and I also have placed a call to my doctor.I was wanting to know what do you do about a child that is acting satiety?You said that might be the problem.Which seems to be true. She is on Neocate and I guess that is all she can take.We have tried many formulas and this was the only one that has worked for her.Could she be over her allergy yet?We waited for a year befor we tried my other daughter on milk and she does fine now.She did not act as hungry as my baby now.
My daughter who is 7 months old has been breastfeed. I was starting to give her formula. Everytime she had some she got hives around her mouth. They went away quickly (within 30 minutes) and she had no other symptoms. She does have mild
eczema. The dr. suggested I try soy formula and said there is about a 75% chance that she will be able to tolerate it. Does this sound right? I am worried that she will have an even worse reaction. She also believes she will outgrow it since she didn't have a real violent reaction and I am not dairy free and she had no symptoms while breastfeeding. Thoughts?
My baby was diagnosed with
lactose intolerance and reflux at 4 weeks of age. He has been on Neocate LCP since about 6 weeks of age and he has also been on Losec for his reflux. I have two questions - when can I introduce him to solids and when should I challenge him with cow based formula. Also in the last 3 weeks he has increased his stools from 1 day to 4 a day and they are burning his bottom and quite acidic to smell. He now has a bad case of nappy rash which is like blisters, do babies get an intolerance to Neocate after being on it. He is now 4.5 months old and I was wondering should I try him on another forumla??
How reliable are blood allergy tests? I had a severe allergic reactions 2.5yrs ago to ASA (presumed). Since then I have developed allergies to tomatoes, apples (for certain) as well as a slew of other fruits and vegetables. I have also developed cold
urticaria and pressure urticaria (although it seems selective). In addition I have acid reflux - chronic, everday, burning acid reflux. I have trouble talking sometimes as a result and am constantly exhausted. I am on a proton-pump inhibitor (which doesn't work) and have been on renitadine as well as zantec, pepto, milk of mag, and various other chalk like substances. I don't know why this has happened or if it will ever go away. I am 23 now. My concern is that my allergist told me that I am allergic to all of these foods based on skin testing (please note I also have dermagraphism). I would love to get pregnant in the next few years and because of my allergies I am eatting VERY poorly (I would call my diet high carb/fat -although I am still approx 112lbs at 5'2"). I am seeing a nutritionist who offers blood allergy testing of 250 foods for $1000. Before I invest in this (I am a grad student and thus on the poor side) I want to know it's worth it. Are there numbers out there that have determined the
efficacy of allergy blood tests?
I have a brother who is having allergic reactions to all kinds of different things. He is 33 and it started about 5 years ago. It seems that when he took some creatine that is when the problems started. He had reactions to red meat for a while. He would have severe
asthma attacks, vomit, nausea, diahrrea, hives, and would loose weight. The last year it seems to be changing and he can eat some red meat, but now is having reactions to different things. Nothing the same. Everytime he goes to the gym and tries to workout he becomes very sick 2 or 3 days later. This week he has severe hives all over his body, and his body is completely swollen. Bendadryl is not helping. He is throwing up and diahrrea. It is like his body is allergic to lactic acid, or something that is released from his muscles when he worksout. He has been to many Dr's and hasn't found out much. One said he has Eosinophilic
Esophagitis. Do you have any ideas that he should have a doctor check him for? Thanks for your time.

My son has had mucus in his stools since he was 2 weeks old. When his stool was tested it came back positive for having blood in it too. He was diagnosed as having a milk
protein allergy. Is there any other reason that an infant could have mucus/blood in stools besides a milk protein allergy? Also, he's now on Neocate and has pretty much gone on a hunger strike. He was drinking 4-5 ounce bottles of Alimentum and drinks less than 2 of the Neocate. He goes into hysterics when I try to give him more. This has been going on for several weeks and we've had so supplement with pedilyte to keep him hydrated. What can be done to make it taste better?
My daughter is almost 3 weeks old. She had blood in her stools at 2 weeks and her pedicatrician switched her from Similack Advance to Alimentum 5 days ago. There is still blood in her stools. How long does it take to get out of system? Should I wait longer or try Elecare which her brother was put on at about 4 weeks old.
