milk protein sensitivity?

Question

My LO was diagnosed with a milk protein sensitivity after her green diapers tested positive for traces of blood. It seems like I'm seeing that more and more babies have been diagnosed with this as well. I'm just curious how many of you have had to give up dairy and/or soy and if you've noticed any differences for your LO?

Answer

I noticed immediate improvement when I cut diary out especially at night. After our first night feeding, our boy would be burping/hiccuping/farting for an hr and in noticeable pain. Constantly had to be comforted. He also had mucosy poos after every feeding. It's so hard tho sticking to the diet... esp around the holidays. Had a wedding this past weekend and what am I supposed to say that I can't eat the food anymore :-( and apparently you have to go atleast 2 weeks to prove that's really the problem, see enough consistency. Atleast you know for sure that's it... we are looking for a new doc because the last one said they can't have a sensitivity and I just almost flipped on her.

Answer

My little boy has this but I wasn't able to breastfeed (sorry I can't help there) so have to go to the doctors every few weeks to get prescribed milk. I think I did read about looking at your diet if you do breastfeed though. The prescribed milk has helped so much, he is like a different baby.

Answer

Was it like this ? I fond it yesterday on my baby's diary :( I'm actually waiting to see a doctor

Answer

The doctor prescribes Apiamil Pepti 1. You can't buy it in shops. Hope your LO starts to feel better soon

Answer

I think it really just comes down to knowledge.... Babies who were often deemed colicky could have had MPSI and there just wasn't enough known about it yet.... But I agree, it seems odd that only 2-7% of babies have MPSI but somehow I know of three other people who've had babies in the last year who've dealt with it... ANYWAYS my baby was diagnosed at her three week checkup and we've literally been back to the doctor each week... She's never had a problem with weight gain, just inconsistent crying spells at nighttime and difficult staying still... First I cut dairy and soy but no obvious improvement... Next week baby was prescribed Zantac to help with silent reflex/heart burn and I cut wheat on my own.... Still no "new baby" moment... Next time we were prescribed Prevacid which she literally HATES and I decided to cut gluten... Five weeks after the initial diagnosis and there's definite improvement in the colicky night symptoms... We made allergen free brownies over the weekend which called for an egg and baby lost her mind so we're not sure if it was the egg or her reacting to the Prevacid in the evenings... You can literally hear her stomach cringe after you give it to her at night - we have another appointment this Friday - next step for me is the total elimination diet if the stool test comes back positive 😔
