Anyone have a child w/ a milk allergy? Or have one yourself?

  • Posted on November 18, 2010 at 11:23 pm

We just recently found out that our 4 year old daughter has many food allergies, including an allergy to milk. My question is what do you use to replace milk? I went to the store today and noticed there was rice, soy, and almond milk. Are there any others? And which is the more common choice for children? We tried the plain soy milk and she really didn’t care for it at all. I tried it myself and it was pretty bad, lol. We removed milk from her diet about a month ago and she really misses her cereal in the morning (won’t eat it dry), and plus I don’t like the idea of her drinking juice most of the day even though she drinks plenty of water too. Any suggestions?
No, she isn’t lactose intolerant. She had been sick for over a year with chronic cough, ear infections, had pneumonia 3 times last year, 2 sinus surgeries, ear tubes put in…she was a very sick little girl. One day a new doctor was filling in for her pediatrician and suggested she go in for allergy testing. Well, that’s when they found she is allergic to milk, bananas, strawberries, and quite a bit of other foods as well. But these she would have almost every day! Never had a rash or upset stomach so we never thought it could be food causing her problems. A couple of weeks after removing these things from her diet she is doing great, hasn’t even had as much as a sniffle. She really misses her milk though, she was a big milk drinker.

Let’s say that your first thought of the day was, “You idiot!” (about yourself)?

Your next thought was, “You are a has been. You f*cked up. You have to be the biggest idiot on earth.” How do you pull yourself out of it? I lost my job because I opened my mouth about a felony DWI I got and now have no prospects and no future. WTH do I do? I want to die sometimes but I know no matter what I cannot do that because I have a daughter and HAVE to be here for her no matter what. How do I stop torturing myself mentally?
