Dairy Intolerance

No doubt about it, I was always 'Queen of Dairy Products.' Milk was a main food, cheese came a close second and I lathered everything in butter! But about ten years ago I started suffering symptoms that I didn't, at first, associate with Lactose intolence. Grumbling tum, getting 'the runs,' at first. Then I started with severe stomach cramps. My GP at first diagnosed Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but I had doubts. Over the next couple of years things got worse, the stomach cramps literally had me screaming in agony and the only thing that would relieve it was ibuprofen. The GP was still insistent on IBS and was no help at all. Everything ...  Read the complete review

Seven years ago, my first child was born, he was perfectly normal when born, with no problems, but when my son went onto formula milk, he was very poorly, he struggled to put on weight, was projectile vomiting constantly, had diohrea, red blotchy skin, eczema and was always catching viruses and getting colds, he also had asthma, and always looked ill and had pale skin, the health profession where I lived just kept saying he is just a sicky baby, and offered me no help or explanation as to what was causing his problems. Then I moved into a new area, and registered with the local doctors. One day my son suddenly had a severe allergic reaction, his skin was red ...  Read the complete review

Some of you will already know that I have four children. Well, most of them aren?t really children any more- they range in age from 14-22. I have been unfortunate that three of them have had dairy food allergies. Two very severely and one less so. I suppose that entitles me to consider myself fairly ?clued up? on the subject. Ooh- by the way, and keep this secret as I feel rather too young for this-!! I have two gorgeous grandsons aged 3 and 6 months. Sadly, one of them also seems to have a dairy problem. The thing I have noticed over the years is how much easier it is to cope with now in this diet conscious society. Permit me, if you will to take a ...  Read the complete review

It was 2 weeks before my sons first birthday when we noticed something wasn't quite right. He started to get really clingy and upset, he was off his food, wouldn't sleep and had up to 6 really bad dirty nappies a day. After 3 days we took him to the Doctor, we were told he was fine and that it was just a "bug that was going around" but 2 days later he came out in a rash all over his body, we waited for 24 hours to see how he was, but when he got up the next day he was covered and the rash had turned into big spots that were blistering. Immediately we thought it was chicken pox, but the doctor confirmed it wasn't because the ...  Read the complete review

My daughter turned 4 years old last week,and she is thriving. As a small baby she took to breast feeding like a natural & piled on the weight steadily & consistantly until 4 months,when she was introduced to solid foods. Like most breast fed babies her nappies were often dirty after every feed & were the 'normal'mustard colour etc... sorry for the graphic details! So when I began to introduce solids I expected to see a change but was quite unprepared by the dramatic change Suddenly she was passing green stools & what went in one end literaly came straight back out the other! The problem was at first put down to over feeding by the ...  Read the complete review
