Hi all, my DS is just over 1 year old, and has been sick every single day of his life. I am proud to say he is still a chunky little monkey on 25th centile, so the sickness has not affected his weight, unless maybe he'd be bigger still if he hasn't been sick so much 🤷
Anyway he was breastfed for 5 months then combination fed for a further 6 weeks and fully on formula just before 7 months. He has had CMP blood test that was negative. Which I expected as was sick on breast milk. However since changing from formula to normal cow's milk the sickness has got worse again, so now on lacto free cow's milk. I thought it had made an improvement but am yet to go fully lacto free, but am limiting other dairy. However, now wonder if I should bother as yesterday morning after only having lacto free milk, he threw up the whole lot all over my bedroom carpet 🤦
I feel he may have other allergies as have had several reactions of red blotchy and puffy face, which through food diaries, I believe is due to peaches and apricots, which have been cut out and had no skin reactions for a couple of months.
I was previously told it was reflux and he would grow out of it by age 1, and given infant gaviscon. The gaviscon made no difference, just was something else for him to throw up. Generally his sickness has improved since he started eating more solids and less milk, leaving me to believe the milk is the issue, as it must have been the milk as a new born causing the sick?
I have appointment will allergy clinic on Friday and don't know what to expect. Can they help with potential lactose intolerance, and is there a test? Or will they only be interested in the skin reactions and not the sickness?
May not be relevant or connected, but he supposedly is developmentally delayed, and expecting referral to peadiatrician after next health visitor appointment as still in the black on the repeat of the 12 month check 😢
Any advice or similar stories welcome.
Thanks in advance
