cows milk protein intolerance in breastfed baby

[lovelymamma]

hi, was i going mad or did i read on here about a cows milk protein intolerance being linked to reflux in a breastfed baby. my baby has been given gaviscon for relux and its worked. i recently read on here about a link between mum eating dairy produce and the protein going thru milk and causing similar symptoms of reflux. i have cut out dairy and my baby hasnt had gaviscon now for a week. told my health visitor and she wants a link to the site i read it now i cant find it!!
thanks

I have found a link to the kellymom website but dont know if it the link you are talking about:

Food Sensitivities in BF babies

Greeat link seona. Very interesting. This is information I've had a gut feeling about after years of experience, childhood eczema, lifelong asthma, tales of horrendous colic when I was a baby.

We HAVE to get our doctors to take food insensitivities much more seriously and to gen up on them. It would unltimately save money for the NHS and save people so much unecessarly health misery.

i think you may be thinking about a thread i answered on recently started by cantsleepwontsleep.....mine have cows milk intolerance and suffered/suffers from reflux (3 out of my five babies did/do).

do you think maybe that could be what you are thinking of????

can't do links but flame is here who can so we will hunt and do (well, flame will) if you like???

CSWS thread here

hi thanks. i have emailed links to both to my hv. i'm convinced its linked now. i had a milkshake from Mcdonalds today and lo and behold her symptoms are back this evening, after a week of nothing.
poor baby girl

Ds was very sensitive to dairy when I was bfing - no cow's milk or ice cream for me for a year! It did not bother him when I ate cheese or yogurt, though.

my 2 babies both intolerant to cows milk protein through my breastmilk. I followed dairy and soya free diet as protein is meant to be almost identical. Symptoms disappeared within a week - screaming, 'curdy' poos, blood in ds poos. dd grew out of it by i year, ds only 6 weeks.
