[quote=Anonymous]Obviously you know and trust your allergist, but add me to the chorus of "I have dairy allergies but not to everything."

Mine actually started as an infant. I was allergic to breast milk. Then they tried cow's milk, goat's milk, you name it I was allergic. So, I was a formula baby in the end.

Over the years mine has evolved a bit, but I've never been able to drink milk, even with the lactose alternatives/supplements. I can have a small amount of say, cream in coffee once a week usually without issue. If I need to have any more or more often than that, it's almond milk. I don't really eat cereal but if I do, it's shredded wheat with orange juice in it.

Ice cream bothers me, and if I was to drink a milkshake I'd be sick for days, but I'm fine with cream sauces on pasta etc. - basically something in cooking breaks down what my system has an issue with. Butter causes me zero issues, and I'm OK with most cheese.

All this to say - your son may not have to be cold turkey no dairy for the rest of his life - there may be certain things he can manage, and I hope so. [/quote]
