So here we are.  3 weeks after I started reintroducing milk products.  We think that we may be seeing a slow reaction occuring in DS2. :'(  Developed a barking croupy type of cough, having NWings often - settles himself but cries and thrashes when he's awake - and also having EW if his NW is close enough to his wake up time.

I'm pretty bummed out about it.  :'( :'( :'( :'( I was so hoping that we were making progress.
I've gone dairy free again to see if it helps and that will probably be the definitive proof.  Of course it will take nearly a week before we'll see if there's any difference.  I've gotta call the GI clinic nurse tomorrow (Monday) and see what she thinks.

Feeling sad for you all, too.  It sounds like you had a great start.  Hugs for the rough road.  I hope the call is helpful tomorrow.

More hugs,
Jean

It's really difficult to say for definate that it's the dairy causing this...  he could just have a cold.  I know your pain though, you just want it to have gone.  I remember thinking Ethan's allergy would never go, but it did... so have hope.  It will happen.  I'm inclined to say to push on. Recently when I was doing the re-introduction with Ethan, everytime he cried, had a nightmare or was just fussy I thought it was the dairy.  My GP said to me that I would see symptoms escalate and it would be obvious, rashes etc.  I was giving him the dairy directly though.  Follow your gut and speak to the GI clinic and see what they say.  Have you been keeping a diary??

Not a written one, but I do have a good recollection of when symptoms etc started as it's only been 3 weeks.  You are right Hema, I should put it on paper.
I was wondering about the cold idea, so will see if time shows us that as the culprit.

The NW & EW were unfortunately symptoms of his when we weaned the Prevacid about 2 months ago.  They stopped as soon as we reintroduced the Prevacid.  DS2's MPI has always shown up as reflux type symptoms so I'm inclined to thing that the NW & EW are probably the MPI 'flaring' up.
Thanks for support girls.  Means so much. :-*

Try and put in on paper... I always follow my gut but having it on paper can help you identify things that you may not pick up.  I see your train of thought re:reflux.

So with the site being down I've been unable to update you all.
hemz80, you were right.  Within 24 hours of me posting here, he starting dripping from his nose and sneezing etc etc. with a nasty head cold.  Never thought I'd be glad to see one of those! ::)  :P
We've kept on with milk in my diet and no real reaction that we can see.

Yesterday we gave him yogurt and so far no reaction. ;D  Did it again this morning and will keep doing it for a week before increasing to any other dairy products.

We've been adding about a quarter cup of coconut milk to his morning cereal, and a tablespoon of olive oil to his savoury meals at lunch and dinner. 
I had to weigh him on our scales (which are accurate to the 100gm) and then phone the dietician with the updated weights.  So I did that this morning.  He's gained 500gm in about 4 weeks.  The dietician has plotted his weights on the growth curves and he's moved above the 3rd percentile.  She said that the slope of his growth is much more than the slope of the percentile curve and that if things continue as they are he should be back on his percentile soon.
 ;D 8)YAY! 8) ;D

So we've had 2 weeks of yogurt and a week of cheese and no reactions so far.  Will hold our course for another week (too much going on this week to do anything new) and then we'll try milk.
OMG!  I can't believe this might be over .... pinch me someone!

It's over!  It's gone!! Done, hasta la vista, bu-bye! ;D ;D
DS2 has been on milk since the beginning of July and we've had no apparent issues.
OMG I cannot almost believe it's over. 
Now to deal with the reflux and wean the Prevacid....
