The formulas I suggested are hypoallergenic. Depending on her insurance you get them on prescription. If you can't get them, I would stick to rice milk, honestly.

Hugs and Happy New Year  ;D

Ok, ladies............we are no longer trying soy.  :P Bella screamed all afternoon- her tummy was hard and rigid and she was crying "owie, owie" over and over. Now I feel awful. No more soy ever! We get the organic enriched kind or rice milk already so will just continue with that. Not going to try yogurt for awhile either. Poor girl. To think that was my fault.  :'( :'( :'(

Happy New Year!!!!

Sorry Wendee :( It's not your fault, it's sounds so healthy, doesn't it, soy I mean but it really isn't recommended as an alternative formula for dairy intolerant kids.

Try and ask your doctor for hypoallergenic formula or buy the calcium enriched rice milk.

HUGS and Happy New Year!!!

I am so sorry she reacted that way. At least you have trialed it before she is due to go back to biomom.

I'm sorry too to hear of Bella's reaction. The worse thing is you feel so helpless. I hope she's feeling better now.
Big, big kisses to you all from us

She's much better today. Thank God. I felt awful yesterday! It's rice milk for us from now on. Do children who are dairy intolerant ever get to the point where they can do dairy without problems?

P.S. Kelly, biomom may not be getting Bella back.  :)

So Bella may get to stay with you for good? Yahoo for you and her!!!

Glad to hear she's doing better today. As for your question, some kids outgrow dairy intolerances but others don't. I can't remember - how old is she?

Wow , does that mean you may get to adopt her? That would be the best 2008! Fingers crossed!
Glad to hear she's feeling better so quickly.
After giving Nicholas the cortizone tablets Monday evening after the visit to the Drs AND collecting up all the toys he got for his birthday (23.12.05) and for Christmas the rash has hardly come back at all ;D.
Is this a coincidence or was one of the toys to blame?
When you have your allergies are they sudden (within hours)? Nicholas's was over 2 days :-X xx

If she reacted this way at 16.5 months, I wouldn't try dairy or soy again until 2 years old probably...

Lis - posted on your other thread. From what i've heard/read, contact allergies usually go away much quicker than food allergies as with the food or medicine it's the allergen getting into the entire system/bloodstream.

I feel it would be in Bella's best interest if biomom does not get her back so that is great. I hope that is the case. Will you be able to adopt Bella?

We'd love to adopt Bella but won't know anything about what the plan is until the 14th when we have our MDT meeting.

Lis, my reactions would vary. Sometimes they'd stay in my system for 2-4 days, and sometimes it'd be out within a few hours. It would depend on the severity and the allergen and the time of month it was (this is a biggee for me believe it or not). When I had hives (and ds1 is like this too) it would come and go for 2-3 days.

No soy ever. Dairy maybe again at 2yo.  :P

Thanks for the help ladies.  :-*
