CMPA: Beef ok?

[onwardsmummy]

DS has mild CMPA, and I have given him beef- seems to like it. He has no reaction that I can see. So... is that OK? What do other parents do/ have you noticed any reaction? Or is it actually safe anyway..?

The paediatrician didnt tell me not to but I have learnt that means sweet fa...

Beef is nearly always fine. If you haven't noticed a reaction then that's great. (BTW, my DS has CMPA and eats a ridiculous amount of minced beef.)

Yes only a very tiny percentage of children with CMPA also react to beef. My DD is allergic, but loves a good cottage pie! Good source of high calorie protein and fats in the absence of dairy too.

that's a relief!

My MIL warned me against giving beef my CMP allergic DD, as "beef is dairy" , turns out from her blood tests she is not allergic to beef! They are 2 different allergies.
