About a month ago, DS started getting rashes around her mouth and sometimes around her nose and ears. Of course we were concerned and kept an eye on it but after a day it disappeared. It happened a few more times before we took her to the doctors.
He asked us the usual questions and an allergy question came up, so we kept a food diary and then they put on her on a special diet to monitor her foods and reactions.
Long story short, and after two weeks they found out milk was the problem, they say it's a mild reaction and slightly strange as she can still eat milk products and have no rashes and symptoms but cow's milk itself whether it's full, semi, or skimmed, brings up the rash.
We've kept her away from milk, like he recommended but she usually has milk on a morning with breakfast, and even after loads of explaining and reminders she thinks she's being punished because we refuse to give her it.
We've tried soya milk, goats milk, even mixed it with banana milkshake flavour but she can taste the difference and hates it. We tried asking the Dr, but all we got was try soya and a list of information.
Can you recommended or think of any other types of milk or substitutes I can try?
Sorry, for the long post.
