AIBU to want everyone to know about this?

Ds now aged 12 was taken off Formula at about 8 weeks due to milk allergy and prescribed soya milk, he can now tolerate a little dairy but is largely dairy free since.

For the past two years he has been lacking in energy, muscle aches and pains and severe stomach pain.

We had seen numerous GP's consultant paediatrician etc and could not get to the bottom of the problem. Last week we discovered he is seriously low on Calcium and Vitamin D and has a stomach ulcer due to the ibuprofen he has been taken for the pain.

I am seriously annoyed it has taken two years to get a diagnosis and that we were never sent to a dietician when he was taken of milk.

If you or your child don't take dairy products for whatever reason please look at your (their) intake of calcium and Vitamin D.

Seasick I just hope its not too late.

Ghostsdon'ttalk, sorry I didn't mean to worry you. At 8 weeks it won't have caused MS, most babies don't get much sunlight in the first 8 weeks so it is not the time when sunshine is intensively needed for vit D so I don't think missing out for that time will be a problem.

My Dad remembers never really going out and spending very little time indoors.

Walton - Karo coconut milk is now called Koko coconut milk. They changed the name about 10 months ago! Still the same in every other way though.
