Hey Rachndean if you see this, just did a yogurt challenge on my boy, mucous, runny nose & cough. The day I stopped his nose started to slow down it's running as well.]]> Wed, 17 Nov 2010 21:50:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1202559&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1202559 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1202195&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1202195 Author: HuntersMama

Thats great to hear.

My DS has terrible allergies too and I hate hearing that "he will grow out of it". yes, maybe one day he will but that doesnt help him much now! He has an allergy to cows milk and we are on pepti jnr which he responds really well to.]]> Wed, 17 Nov 2010 15:11:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1202195&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1202195 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1185780&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1185780 Author: AandCsmum

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know we saw an allergy specialist and she put Lilah on goats formula. 2.5 weeks in and Lilah has no cough for the first time in 4 months!!
Thanks for all your help ]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:26:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1185597&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1185597 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1176987&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1176987 Author: rachndean

Nope, push that, the other thing I thought about before I read that your boy had got better after the removal of dairy was reflux. Coopers reflux presented exactly the way you describe except he'd go really blue around the mouth as well.

Maybe try a low lactose formula first. There is also a HA formula at the supermarket which has some of the dairy proteins "beaten down" so if she improves on that you can prove that she needs more of an elemental formula if it doesn't improve entirely.]]> Wed, 13 Oct 2010 17:21:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1176574&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1176574 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1176198&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1176198 Author: gypsynita

can't help much, but didn't want to read and run - sounds like you've been through such a tough time with both of them!!

if it was me i'd definitely be pushing further - either just to get a second opinion, or to see a dietician or paed or something. your instincts are telling you something is wrong and you should trust that. either a homeopath or a naturopath might be able to help - they look at everything in the child's life that might affect things (including how your pregnancy was) and go from there. good luck!]]> Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:46:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1176198&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1176198 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1176152&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1176152 Author: rachndean

Hi
DS was formula fed from 4 weeks. Right from when he started on formula, he became very mucusy, and always had a cough and runny nose. We took him to numerous gps in the area, they all told us the same thing, that his body would get over it. At 10 months old when he was cutting his first tooth he became very wheezy, and his cough got worse. we took him to the gp, who sent him home; once again telling us he would fight it off. 3 hours later we were in A&E, his 02 levels were at 70% and he was diagnosed with bronchiolitis. The paed commented on how chesty he was, they took a chest xray and decided he was ok. after 4 days in hospital on oxygen, IV fluids and steroids we could take him home, and he did get better. Although the mucus and horrible cough remained.
Between then and the age of 18 months, we were in hospital with him 3 more times, but each time we only spent 1 night in hospital. We didnt ever get an official diagnosis, they would just put him on the nebuliser, give him some steroids and he would come right. At 18 months they diagnosed him with asthma, gave us an inhaler and spacer, and that was that. At that time, we stopped giving him formula, cut out all dairy and started giving him rice milk to see if we could help the asthma. All mucus has cleared up, he doesnt have his nasty cough and is definitely a lot healthier. We have never had to use his inhaler.
DD2 is now 9 months old. We are going through the exact same thing with her. Once I stopped exclusively BF at 6 months old, she developed the same mucus and cough problem. I don't eat much dairy at all, as we don't have it in the house for DS. I have tried to talk to a few different GPs about the situation, but I can't get any of them to take me seriously about the intolerance. They all just tell me that she will "grow out of it" too. In the meantime we have to suck it up and accept that some nights DD2 will wake up up to 10 times a night crying because she is coughing.
Am I reading into things too much, or should I be pushing further to see a dietician about it? Is this something that a homeopath can help with? We have tried soy formula with DD2, it made her really sick. We have also tried goats milk formula which didnt seem to help either. I have read that it contains a lot of the same proteins so won't necessarily help with dairy intollerance?
Thank you so much for any advice you can give!!]]> Wed, 13 Oct 2010 11:55:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36216&PID=1176152&title=excess-mucus-and-cough-intollerance#1176152
