Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Could chapped lips and flushed cheeks be an allergic reaction? I have my son on Soy milk (haven't removed the gluten yet) and he has recently developed very chapped lips, both upper and lower. I've seen him lick his lips before or pull his upper lip with his lower one, but I'm not sure if this is because of that or because he got ahold of a casein product. I'm thinking about taking him off of Soy and slowly putting him on rice milk. He rejected the rice milk, even with Hershey's chocolate syrup! Anyone had anything similar happen to them? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Yep, especially with the flushed cheeks. Could be the soy or something added to the soy milk. Have you tried darifree or almond milk? Or add a little darifree to rice milk to give it a creamier texture. > Could chapped lips and flushed cheeks be an allergic reaction?

A few months ago, we experimented with going casein free for a weekend (this is before we started the diet for real), and I loaded my son up with soy milk and soy cheese etc. He had very chapped lips and a rash all around his mouth like a clown. So, although we haven't tested yet, my operating assumption is that he is allergic to soy, and we're using Darifree.
