Milk allergy ?

libby73

Sunday morning I gave DS some milk that was 2 weeks away from expiring and he gagged and threw up a bit so I watched him the rest of the day and he seemed to be fine.  Ever since Sunday everytime DS drinks milk he has a bm, could this be the early signs of a milk allergy?  My brother and I were both allergic to milk but up until this week DS has been fine with it.  I would have thought if he had a bug it would be gone by today.

My DD has a milk allergy and breaks out in hives if it so much as touches her skin. I really don't know if an allergy can also present itself as throwing up, but in my unprofessional opinion it sounds like something more GI related (like an intolerance).

I agree with this. DD has a milk allergy and it cannot even touch her skin without her swelling up and getting hives...I can't imagine if she drank it.

I would keep giving it to him maybe just once a day and keep an eye on it to see it there is a true pattern or not.

maybe lactose intolerance but not an allergy
