Milk intolerance

[hjor20]

Is it possible for a child's intolerance to just disappear? My 4 year old has had cmpa since he was born and only ever managed to tolerate a malted milk. We stopped trying the milk ladder until this summer as he kept going backwards. However he tried some sponge cake and didn't have any nasty side effects apart from smelly wind, and he's been helping himself to milky coffee which I stupidly left out on the side, and again hasn't had any symptoms?

I'm really hoping this is the start of him being tolerant, but I just don't know if it can disappear that quickly ?

You can some times tolerate more of something as a one off. They can also gain tolerance quite quickly. We tried the egg ladder with my daughter a few months ago and she failed with a crumb and had diarrhoea. A month later she was accidentally given a brownie with egg in and she ate the whole lot. She came up in a rash but no gut symptoms. We have started the egg ladder again this week and she has had a crumb now 5 days in a row and no diarrhoea. She's been a bit itchy but I think this is hayfever as it's mostly when outside. We are taking it slowly but it does like her tolerance for egg has improved over the last few months. She's 4 now and we had all but given up on her outgrowing her allergies and her dietician has said this is the key year as once she gets to 5 it then becomes less likely she will outgrow them. My goal for the year is passing or making progress on step 1 of the egg and milk ladders.
