Hi Hila,
Thank you so much for that advise. Its so great to get a clear answer about it and good to know that the dairy and lactose intolerances are unrelated. Good luck with your wee man.

You will need to do a food diary. Keep track of everything you eat and then make notes if your daughter is having a reaction. You may start to see a trend develop. Just be aware that some reactions can take a day or two.
About a quarter of reflux babies have problems with dairy, so it is definately worth a try to eliminate it from your diet.
I would also recommend the crying over spilt milk website. It is fantastic.]]> Wed, 28 Jan 2009 14:23:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24061&PID=599841&title=intolerancehow-do-you-know#599841 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24061&PID=599407&title=intolerancehow-do-you-know#599407 Author: Mum2L

I don't think you will know for sure until she is old enough to have the tests done.

My son Lucian has a suspected dairy allergy, that he has inherited from me. I was eating dairy during my pregnancy, as the hormones were masking my allergic reaction (itchy hives all over my body).

I still continued eating dairy for a couple of weeks after I had him. He was diagnosed with reflux, and I immediately cut the dairy out my diet, as I was starting to react again. His spilling has decreased dramatically, and is virtually non-exsistant now.

My GP and a paed told me to wait till Lucian is a year old before getting tests done, just to confirm it.

If she has a dairy intolerance, a lactose-free formula won't make a difference (as it is made from cow's milk), unless she is also intolerant to lactose. For me, I can easily tolerate lactose in food, but am allergic to specific proteins in cow's milk.

Hopefully you can get some answers soon.

I would also highly recommend the Crying Over Spilt Milk website for info on reflux and food allergies: Linky]]> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:08:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24061&PID=599407&title=intolerancehow-do-you-know#599407 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24061&PID=598716&title=intolerancehow-do-you-know#598716 Author: busyissy

My little girl, Isobelle, has reflux and lately I have been beginning to suspect that there is something more there too. I have taken dairy out of my diet and think that her spilling has decreased.
My question is how do I know for sure if she has a dairy or any other food intolerance? I mean other than from my observations. My doctor said that they don't do allergy tests on babies as young as Isobelle.
I am supplement feeding (have to as she can't keep enough breastmilk down) so I want to make sure that I have my diet right and that I have her on the right formula. Currently, we are using the Karicare HA AR which we have to mail order but I have seen a new formula in Foodtown, Karicare De-Lact and I'm wondering if I should try that? Has anyone else used it before?]]> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:14:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24061&PID=598716&title=intolerancehow-do-you-know#598716
