How long can a CMPA allergy take to diagnose

[eastereggst]

Has anyone experienced this?? DD's symptoms are getting worse and we keep getting fobbed off by the doctors

Took 16 weeks for my son to be diagnosed. They were a long 16 weeks

11 months and she’s now 13 still with a life threatening milk allergy.

Every time she tried formula we ended up in hospital. Were given nutramogen which is highly hydrogenised and they were adamant she would be fine. She wasn’t. At 11 months they did tests and actually apologised as she has the most severe CMPA there is. Prescribed neocate and finally at 18 months I stopped breastfeeding. Worst 18 months of my life with a constantly screaming unhappy baby.

We never got an official diagnosis. We removed all dairy from dd diet and consultant said 'well you know what works so no need to test'. That was when she was 2. She is now 9. We did milk ladder when she was about 6yrs and it went well. She still has little relapses but we go through the ladder again after a break for a few months. She is good at taking some control of it now
