Milk allergy

sbg

Anyone else have this issue.  Doctor thinks both girls have a milk allergy.  They became covered in eczema head to toe.  One girl has it worse than the other.  She also is super fussy during feedings.  She is already on Prevacid.  Doctor had both girls switch to Nutramigen ( baby that had it worse had been on gentlease).  They have been on it for a week.  No change yet....although i heard it can take several weeks to see improvement.  We may have to move to the mail order formula.  I would love to hear any suggestions or similar stories.  Both girls were put on a steroid for a week to help clear up their skin, but the ezcema has come back after being off the meds.

 

thanks!

My DS3 has MSPI (milk soy protein intolerance) and he had eczema as one of his symptoms.  I was able to remove all dairy and soy from my diet and his skin cleared up.  There is a defnite link between allergies and skin problems.
