Milk/Soy Protein Intolerance - MSPI - READ HERE!!!
1sttime:
I forgot, I had one more question. Has anyone had any success with goat's milk or cheese? I'm pretty sure my lo is intolerant not allergic so I wondered if he might do ok with that since I've ready it's supposed to be easier to digest. thanks

Welcome to Hayleysmom!
1sttime - The milk proteins are diferent in yogurt and also the bacteria helps to digest it. Beans are a great source of protein, and so are grains and vegetable in combinations. Do you like cooking, can you make soups? Bean burritos? Beans & rice combinations? Eggs? Turkey bacon? Nuts are also a good source if you're not allergic, you can make your own granola bars packed with almonds and peanuts. Here is your chance to experiment a little with new foods and flavors. You could try checking out a vegan cookbook from the library to find new recipes, just omit the soy or substitute for chicken or turkey when applicable.
Tips for adding fat to your diet include adding omega3's. You can add flax seed (found in the refrigerated aisle at the health food store) to pancakes, homemade breads, oatmeal, muffins, etc. Try to keep your fats "healthier" fats, for your long term health. I also like eating dips - avocado, bean, hummus (watch for soy sauce in this one) with organic corn chips.
I still have not tried soy with Max (19 months now) because I think I am intolerant to it too. I would try organic soy when you do - the genetically engineered crap they put as a protein filler in most foods is what hurts me the most. Max tolerated cows milk yogurt around 13ish months old but Grace was 18 months old before she was ok with it.
I tried goats milk and it was pretty icky, but you may acquire the taste. Try to stay organic. I didn't try goats cheese.

Hi, I am desperately trying to find out more about milk and soy allergies. My daughter is 6 months now and I am still breastfeeding. I think she is allergic to milk and soy as on the odd occasion that I have given her cows milk formula or soy formula she has been very sick within an hour or two. I also gave her a jar of vegetables with 1% skimmed milk in it and she was very sick 2 hours later. She loved the soy yoghurt I tried her on but within an hour and a half we both needed 2 changes of clothes! What is confusing me is that I seem to be able to eat milk and associated products and she seems to be fine with my breastmilk. Everyone else I have heard about has had to cut milk out of their diet. She is a very contented baby with none of the discomforts I have been reading that other babies suffer with when they are allergic to milk. I would like to be able to use formula occasionaly and in her cereal, as I find expressing a pain. I have purchased some Omneo Comfort which has hydrolysed whey in it, but haven't plucked up courage to try it yet. Has anyone else out there been in the same situation, where there milk is fine for baby even although they have milk in their diet.

Hi Moms,
I'm new to the site and have a one week, one day old baby. His big brother (now 2 1/2 and eats just fine) had MPSI and we put him on Nutramigen since I was not tough enough to handle the diet. I remember him as being very fussy from day one (He is VERY Spirited!!!) and he showed his MPSI through severe constipation.
New baby boy had a rough day today (has eaten and eliminated just fine until now) and I am fearful that we are returning to the same path. When did MPSI manifest itself in your babies? Was it an at-birth thing or something that came up over the first few weeks? Just want to try to catch this and try to act asap...and TRY to follow the diet, but all things dairy are my weakness!
Thanks so much.

I missed the pp, but you can put water in the cereal, with a little bananas or applesauce if that is too bland. Doesn't need to be mixed with milk.
With my kids, the intolerances showed up around the 3 week mark for sure. I think the first week or so they just sleep and eat and seem pretty content.
