Not sure if milk allergy...
« on: May 05, 2007, 16:09:05 pm »
My 10 month old DS has thrown up 2x this week.  The first was after a cheesy pasta dinner and the second was after a serving of veggies.  He's had the veggies before with no reaction.

My question is this.  About 5 or 6 days ago, he began having yogurt about every day for lunch.  It has been helping a lot with his constipation.  He's never thrown up the yogurt, but I'm concerned that it could be a reaction to a milk allergy?  His Dr changed him to soy formula when he was 2 months old due to a rash on his face.

If it is a milk allergy, would he throw up the yogurt or not necessarily?  Not sure what to do or if I should be concerned about him throwing up at all?  Otherwise he doesn't act sick.

Hard to say - could he have a stomach bug? Maybe try again and see?

He threw up his dinner again last night. 

If it were a milk allergy, wouldn't he throw up the yogurt?  He's never done that.

Well, I have an appointment for Matthew to see the Dr today!  He's been vomiting more and more, and we're going to get to the bottom of this!

If the vomiting is increasing it could be a milk allergy (if stomach bugs, etc are ruled out). Some babies can tolerate yogurt but not drink milk, etc. Keep us posted!
