I'm 32. When I was a baby my mum BF me to 6m, then gave formula which I had a terrible reaction to (very sore bot most obvious symptom).

Drs gave me an endoscopy and told cows milk to blame.

All my mum was told was not to give me cows milk or dairy (eggs fine).

No follow up, nothing. Aged 12ish we started introducing dairy again and all seemed fine.

Just wondering if this is something you grow out of fully. I've never had any more info on it. Presume it was Allergy not Intollerance, but don't really know.

I started putting on weight after eating dairy again (obviously all the extra fat!), and sometimes now suffer from bloating and bad tummy. Could this be related or just coincidence?

Just interested to know since the Drs never thought to give us any more info!

DS was definitely allergic to milk when he was weaned at 6 months, but outgrew it totally by the time he was one. It is definitely something you can grow out of.
