Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 Hi, I am new to the diet and I am just starting to remove casein from my son's diet. I substitute his bottle with SILK vanilla soymilk. How do you know if your child is allergic to soy or not? Thanks, Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept him on the Similac until he was 2 1/2 on the advise of his allergist. It wasn't unitl he started with myoclonic seizures that we took him off all dairy and switched to rice milk.

I highly recommend Doris Rapp's book Is This Your Child? which is very informative about spotting food allergies. Soy gives my daughter dark circles under her eyes and makes her behavior worse when she consumes too much. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 What if your child doesn't show signs of allergy to milk? My son does not, but I switched him to SILK soymilk any how and I was just concerned if I should use the darifree instead. I had been to an allergy doctor 6 months ago, when my son was only 21 months old and he told me he didn't display any signs of allergies and he would do 100 tests if I wanted him to but he didn't feel it was necessary. I just want to know where to start and what tests to perform so that I can start to implement the diet correctly and give my son whatever additional supplements might be needed due to the diet. I have been giving my son Supra Nu Thera since he was 20 months old just because I heard our kids break down their foods differently than we do and that they may lose alot of the B6 and Mag that is necessary for optimum brain development. If anyone can tell me what basic tests to do, just to start out, I would appreciate it. The only test I had performed was at Kennedy Kreiger Institute and they were Fragile X DNA and chromosones and Organic Acid (urine) and they came back normal.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 There is a test that you can have done that tests for sensitivities to IgG reactive foods. It's very informative and will also spot any other food sensitivities that your child may have. Aletess does the test per request by your Dr. On Wed, 7 Feb 2001 09:39:51 EST lkbienkowski@... writes: > In a message dated 2/6/01 9:42:23 PM Eastern Standard Time, > rickspatty@... writes: > > > > .

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 Betty, What do you mean you worry if you use to much soy? I am just trying to understand all this. Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 Evan did not show any allergy to milk but he did drink a lot of it. he loved cheese and would pull it off the pizza or the cheeseburger.. Now he has red ears when he gets any milk products or wheat. He has been 5 months on the diet. We use DariFree because I worry about using too much soy.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 Some of our kids have problems with soy and with corn. These are almost as common as the casein and gluten. I do not think Evan has problems with them now but I try to limit their use because they are in so many things and so hard to eliminate so that he does not build up an intolerance for them also. So I stopped the soy drinks. I use Blue Diamond Almond Vanilla Breeze and mostly DariFree. I have quit using corn and soy oil, corn flour and soy bean flour. I still give him corn for a vegetable but I try and limit it. If I had everything on a rotation diet, like I should, I probably would add these back in on rotation. But right now, the rest of the family is having problems with their physical and mental health and I am just barely staying a float with Evan's diet. We are still keeping it going but I am not had time to work out any rotation list and more importantly, stick with it.
