Avatar f tn My 5yr. Old son has had tummy problems since a year old. Periods of stomach bug like symptoms lasting few days then disappear. However this yr. This cycle has became a monthly thing. Begins with vomiting always early am. Usually 3to4am. Continued that day then diarrhea for approx 4 to 5 days. Recently a GI diagnosed possible DELAYED MILK Allergy. He does keep a mild bumpy rash on upper arms. My concern is can this type of allergy really cause this type of cycle?
Avatar m tn Milk intolerance causes different symptoms and requires different treatment than does a true milk allergy. Common signs and symptoms of milk protein or lactose intolerance include digestive problems, such as bloating, gas or diarrhea, after consuming milk. ' You could read more about this at the following link - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/milk-allergy/DS01008 See a doctor or allergist if you experience food allergy symptoms shortly after eating.
Avatar f tn Based on the description of your symptoms, IMO, you should read up more on gluten sensitivity and consider testing.
Avatar n tn Your nutritionist suggested Boost and Ensure? They're milk products and your son sounds like he has an allergy to milk protein. Undigested milk protein is damaging to the intestinal tract. Please check out this book Enzymes for Digestive Health and Nutritional Wealth by Karen DeFelice. I bought it online. This book helped my son recover from his digestive problems.
Avatar m tn As Ive started thinking more and more, when I was working out I remember I couldnt find a protein powder that sat well with me. I kept switching. Milk, and dairy of such doesnt give me diarrhea or pain, like common lactose tolerance symptoms. Milk just alters my stools, turning them light colored after a few days of drinking it. So does sour cream and ice cream. I dont have this problem with cheese, and the lactose tolerance pills did not make a difference in this, because I tried them.
Avatar f tn My doctor took me off of high fructose corn syrup and soft drinks.I also have a sensitivity to milk so I am off milk products. I am also off yeast and am loading protein in the form of lower fat meat, legumes, almonds and eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. I feel much better. Diet makes a huge difference. I take pregnenolone instead of prednisone.
Avatar f tn Red meats and milk. They're healthy but have that heavy nutrients so to speak.
Avatar f tn Hi! I'm wondering how long ago you switched him to soy formula? The reason I ask is because a lot of babies who can't tolerate milk protein also can't tolerate soy. Sometimes, you will see an improvement when you switch formula, only to have similar symptoms crop up later. I know lots of babies are on soy with no problems, but the studies make me nervous as well. What symptoms was he having? If he is truly ALLERGIC versus SENSITIVE, I would switch him to a hypoallergenic formula.
Avatar f tn Hi there. My son started doing this around the same age......he is now 10 months...... I can tell you that it was directly related to when I fed him formula.......he just couldn't handle the milk protein......he would projectile vomit ........sometimes I would feed him and then he would fall asleep so I put him to bed.......he would wake up coughing and then that would trigger a puke episode..... I changed his formula 4 times.......poor kid.......
Avatar m tn Slim-fast, Ensure, and a lot of protein body-building drinks are really packed with milk proteins. For those without this sensitivity, it is good protein. For the rest of us, not so much.), etc. I really recommend reading this page for some info about where casein may be hiding: http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html Casein is also known for breaking down into casomorphins, which can have an opiate-like effect on the body.

Avatar m tn Some of the bigger food problems seem to occur to gluten (wheat, rye and barley), dairy (the protein portion - casein - not the milk sugar - lactose), eggs and soy. If you're having GI issues either check with a functional medicine doc and ask for some testing, or try some elimination diets to see if you can pinpoint the cause.
Avatar n tn Yogurt and egg usually digest well regardless of illness. They are protein sources and need to be eaten daily. Is he drinking milk? That will give him protein and you can add ice cream to it as a milkshake (milk, fruit, and ice cream blended) or yogurt smoothies (yogurt, fresh fruit, and frozen fruit) for additional calories and protein. Make sure he is eating a protein food each meal (meat, fish, cheese, or yogurt).
9445847 tn?1408059755 Is it normal later in pregnancy to develop a milk sensitivity. Every time I drink milk or yogurt I get sick to my stomach and feel like I'm gonna throw up. I'm 31 weeks +5 days. I used to crave milk and drink it all the time even before getting pregnant, now all of the sudden I feel like I can't drink any at all. Has this happened to anyone else?
Avatar f tn foods (kept fermented dairy though, yogurt, for the probiotics; fermented milk protein is easier to digest, and have banished gluten more or less because my grandmother is gluten intolerant, and she was telling me what her symptoms were and made me realize I might be like her). Things are getting A LOT better, and I feel better. I still consume these proteins, but less often, and I've seen a dramatic difference. But, this is just my two cents. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I tried googling this earlier in my pregnancy and didn't like what I found... that none are really "good" for me or baby right now. I went with veggie & fruit smoothies and used soy milk as it had higher protein content (vs other but mills). But I want to know if anyone else has found out anything else!
Avatar f tn My sympathy to your sister! I had a similar experience 25 years ago that was finally diagnosed as a hiatal hernia/duedonuem ulcer. And, the trigger was not bacteria but an allergy to milk protein (casein/casinate). (See the no-dairy web page for avoiding these widely used food additatives. They even "wash" tuna to make it "whiter" with milk protein.) I went from 60 pills (Zantac) a month to zero once I cut out the milk protein.
Avatar n tn Surprisingly, I was diagnosed with a milk allergy when I was a child and one of my main symptoms back then (years and years and years ago!) was a headache/pressure such as you're describing. I did also have abdominal symptoms with mine, but the headache and pressure feeling were definitely related and problematic. I would also get some dizziness and the difficulty with eye focusing.

My oldest was on similac allimentum..and my youngest was on gerber goodstart sensitive and similac sensitive. We seriously tried every formula! Good luck.

Avatar f tn You can also use flavored Greek yogurts, but watch the calorie count as some have a lot more sugar than the plain yogurt, and by the time you add milk and the protein powder you might have more calories than you bargained for. I have more recipes, if you're interested, but they aren't much different from these. Your imagination and tastebuds are the only limits to what you can put into a smoothie.
532657 tn?1213131909 Preworkout Shake Start with 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder (about 30 grams) and 12 ounces of nonfat milk instead of water. This yields roughly 240 calories, 40 grams of protein, 16 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of fat. Toss in some fruit for flavor, or a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a creamier shake. These will boost calories, carbs, and fat, but they're good for your overall diet Buzz the concoction in a blender. Add ice if you like your shakes thicker.
