News and Questions About allergy food
Open Question: Why would cause tiny red pimples all over my baby?
My son is one year old, and the last 2 nights, my son has had these outbreaks of red spots all over his body..they look like pimples. Last night I saw them first when I took him to the shower. He seems totally fine though, he hasn't cried so I don't think they are itchy, still eats and sleeps normally. I thought maybe the chicken I gave him yesterday was spicy, but it happened again tonight. As of this morning they were gone, I thought he was fine, but again tonight, they came out right before his bath. I noticed it this time about 10 minutes before his bath aroudn his neck, and when I undressed him, I saw it again all over.
Could it be a food allergy? He has not had before. Today for fruit he ate banana, apple, pineapple, and watermelon mixed together. Yesterday was the same. He's ate all these things before with no problem, so I don't know.
Has anyone else had this happen? Today, his pooh was a little bit runny as well sometimes. And sometimes very hard. (Sorry for the TMI).
Any advice is great appreciated...Thanks!

Open Question: HELP with my beagle puppy! Is it food allergy?
I have a 3 month old puppy that i bought from a pet store (yes, i know BAD idea!) He is a great puppy, but he has been a lil sick since i got him. I got him to the vet 3 days after bringing him home. He got a fecal exam which revealed he had giardia, and cocchidia. He has been treated for both, for the past two weeks. The vet also gave us a supplement from Purina, to help his digestive system (30 day supply). At first we wouldn't eat (he was eating Eukanuba), so i gradually changed his food to Taste of the Wild- which he seems to love. He then started having diarrhea- which i assumed were symptoms of the parasites, so i had him for a week on the blend diet (rice and chicken), which he loved. Soon after his first medication was over, things started looking better... he would go to the bathroom right after eating, before it would take him hours to go, and his stools were log-like solid with no odor. I was very happy until this Saturday night/Sunday morning... when he started having runny stools again, i thought may be the food since he got used to the rice+chicken. This morning he threw up, and had a soft mud-like stool.
He is generally active, but last night he slept since 6 pm... and this morning did not want to play either.
Another note, is that he is constantly scratching and sneezing... he doesn't have fleas or anything. I also took for grooming, and he came back with red bumps.. i assume whatever they used was harsh on him.
Could all his symptoms be associated with maybe food allergies? what other brands are good for puppies with allergies?
We will be going to the vet again this afternoon, but i am hoping for some advice as this is my first dog.
thank you
Open Question: How much Children's Benadryl syrup do I give to my small dog with skin allergy?
I have a Pomeranian who had skin problems for quite some time. I tried EVERYTHING from ocean fish dog food (no wheat, no corn), Omega 3-6-9, a bottle of oatmeal spray, a bottle of emu oil spray. I brought her to a vet and even they don't know what it is, and the pills they prescribed didn't work. She still scratches and bites her skin, her two sides and her stomach and chest are bald and red.
My question is, how much Children's Benadryl should I give to this Pomeranian? Someone else here at Y! A said give 1/2 of child's dosage of Children's Benadryl, is this the correct amount?
TX mom...Yes, my dog was also on Prednisone pills and they didn't work.

Open Question: Going to bathroom right after I eat everytime?
Hi, I've been having this weird problem over the last couple days. everytime I eat, I end up going to the bathroom within the hour and crapping the food out. Is my body rejecting the food? I don't feel sick or anything other than the occasional allergy problem. Is this a sign of a serious problem? Should I get to the doctor??
Resolved Question: Why Am I Dealing With Allergies All Of A Sudden?
I am 38 years old and in the last couple of weeks, I have suddenly become very sensitive to so many different things. I've never even dealt with allergies until a couple of years ago, but even then the symptoms were few and far between. Now, the least little smell of perfume in the air, the cleaning supplies I've been using for years, the dogs. Everything seems to bother me all of a sudden. My symptoms are mostly itchy nose and eyes. I do sneeze but not alot. Something else that has been going on is that foods and drinks that I normally enjoy seem lacking in taste. I love my morning coffee, yet it seems extremely watery now. Is that a symptom of allergies? The only thing I've tried so far is an over the counter Claritin and it hasn't done anything to help.

Open Question: My Bichon is critically ill and NOBODY seems to believe me.HELP.?
Complete change in personality,bloated appearance, blood test are normal-except for a few elevated enzymes that are not so important anyways.(It's nothing extreme) He's on pills for thyroid issues now. We now that he has special allergies also.Next week he's getting an ultrasound. But wait....there's more. I'm really desperate for help.
He is a 7 year old bichon. This past thanksgiving, his behavior changed dramatically. He was always active,(not really hyper, but active), enjoyed eating, attached himself to my hip, slept with me, cuddled with me, and enjoyed going for walks. I know that I sound like a sap, but I'm really concerned.
It was after this holiday that everything about his demeanour changed. He started yelping, shrieking really, whenever someone in our family tried to pick him up or even pet him. He began hiding himself away in our closet for hours, as if he were depressed. Cysts and pigmentation appeared on his back. His activity level decreased sharply, he's become very lethargic and antisocial. He runs away from me. He has trouble jumping around, and often paces around rooms- sometimes in a half-sit position for like a second and then moving to somewhere else. Whatever room our family is in, he finds the farthest place from it and hides(regardless of whether or not there's food around- which is bizarre for him). He has a blank stare often when you call his name or sit with him and try to pet him, as if he has no idea what's going on or who you are. He just looks sick. He also lost a pound- a rarity- because he usually gains weight between check-ups. He's even rejected food, not vomitted, but spit out food. Treats even. He was incredibly thirsty all the time, but that has since subsided.
The whole thing is weird. I'd appreciate any good advice.
The breeder is AKC certified, and has bred championship showdogs.The dog was certainly expensive.We talked and met with breeder extensively before we bought the dog. We live in the Virginia Beach Metro Area. I don't know I got on Yahoo canada...but I just noticed that.ha....Thanks. I'm sorry I sounded so frazzled....I'm just really worried. I feel like he's in good hands. This has all been fairly recent. I'm looking at cushing's syndrome, pancreatitis, diabetes, and hypothyroidism.Ideas?
Open Question: 5 month old getting rashes from jarred food?
ive noticed my 5 month old is getting a small rash on his face where food kinda splatters on his face when he's attempting to eat. i dont think its an allergy i think its just an irritation. what can i do about this since i cannot make a 5 month old eat perfectly and not get food all over his face?
all the jarred food i feed him is for a purpose, i put enzymes in it so any food that splatters on his face has to go into his mouth so im constantly pushing it from his cheeks to his mouth. i wipe afterwards though.
Resolved Question: Can My 7 Month Old Baby Eat Cheese?
I'm wondering if my 7 month old son can have cheese. Real cheese (Specifically, fresh mozzarella - Nothing processed).
Yes, I know that here (in the US), many "experts" don't recommend that a child be offered cheese before nine (sometimes twelve) months - especially if there is a history of allergies in the family (Which there is - I have asthma and seasonal and pet allergies).
I'm just wondering WHY some recommend that a baby can't have cheese before a certain age. Is it because he/she might have a reaction if they are in fact allergic? Or is it because offering such foods may actually CAUSE an allergy later on? If so, is there research on this (Please provide links, if so)?
My son is still breastfed on demand. He has little to no interest in baby food (Surprise, surprise!) but is always beyond pleased to taste whatever it is we're eating.
So far, he has tried several fruits, vegetables as well as meats and likes everything. I'd just like to expand his menu a little bit. :)
Thanks for your help.
Also, what's the deal with citrus fruits? I'd love to be able to offer my son a piece of tangerine or orange here or there but I've read that this idea is another 'no-no'....Thoughts?
Open Question: What are some great 1st foods and/or websites to use for an infant with a milk allergy?
My 6month old is slowly taking on foods but she also has a milk allergy and I was looking for family friendly foods and baby food brands and snacks that would be great for her. Anything milk free would be great.
Open Question: What is your favorite meal to cook?
My family wants to try something new. It doesn't have to be easy, but keep in mind that my boys consider me the cook and my husband the chef! lol We like all types of foods...poultry, beef, seafood...and no one has any food allergies.
Thank you in advance for your thorough answers :) xoxoxo
Open Question: Cat keeps scratching ears..hair is missing and some spots are bleeding..Anyone know what this could be?
I already took him to the vet for this thinking it may have been ear mites but the doc said his ears are very clean and they ran a swab out of his ears and they said he dosent have ear mites...
The doc thought he may have had a food allergy so my cat for the last few weeks has been on dry food only..they have him a shot of prenisone and he was itch free for about a week and the hair started growing back..now hes back at it again...
He has scabs now and a fresh scrape on his ear...
Any idea what this could be?
Open Question: Is this a allergy or skin Problem or something else?
I have a problem of rashes appearing on my skin. Its persisting from last 10 months or so. When i consulted my company doctor he told me that its a simple problem of food poisoning and given me tablet of Allergy (Allegra 180) and avoid spicy and oily food. Even after taking precaution not to eat spicy and oily food. Its still persisted. So i went to Manipal Hospital to consult about the same. I consulted Dr. Krupa Shanker Hod of The Department. He told me to undergo lot of test and scan and finally told me that i have a food allergy and given me the same medicine along with another one Vozet and told me that i have an allergy from Wheat, Lemon,Tea and potatoes so avoid these thing for 2 months and it will go off gradually. I tried his medication for almost 2.5 month still i am not seeing any progress. I still have to take 3 pill in the week to avoid the rashes on my body. Now i am feeling that they are doing unnecessary test and squeezing out money from my Pocket.
Can any body suggest me what to do and which doctor to consult as this problem is very irritating?
Open Question: Vega food allergy test ?
Vega food allergy test ?
Is it a load of talk or is it accurate at detecting foods that im allergic to .I really dont want to be scammed
Open Question: I have small, itchy, reoccurring blisters between my left ring and middle fingers. They tend to cluster.?
Third time in the last 4 years. First time the doctor said staph but it doesn't fit anymore & there were never blood tests or anything. It always happens in this exact spot. Sorry to be gross, but water-like fluid inside. Do food allergies or some other chemical reaction have widespread rashes? Weird since it's stationary. I know need a Dr. opinion. I have been under stress.. 20 yrs old. work in a restaurant.
Oh I wasn't in the restaurant business the first time this happened. Don't think it's from cleaning stuff.
I have a ring on the ring finger but I have had it on for the past 2 1/2- 3 yrs. & its not fake or anything.. and fake ones I wear on other fingers now and the w/ no reaction.. but that was a good idea.
Open Question: what is the difference between food allergy test and?

Open Question: What can I do about my dog's allergies?
My dog is a Chihuahua crossed with Maltese, male puppy, born on the 14th of May 2008.
Since getting him from the store, the puppy has had a problem (rash) with the skin under his legs and certain spots around his body. This causes the dog to constantly scratch himself. I took him to the vet and they prescribed him with some antibiotics to stop the rash from occurring. Unfortunately, the rash has not stopped and even after changing the dogs diet to prescribed diet food, the dog still gets the rash and keeps scratching to escalate the problem even more.
I figured that it may be something to do with the grass at the park, he loves to do an army-like crawl, scratching all of his tummy (including the rash spots). I don't want to stop taking him to the park because, simply that's where I take him for walks. His eyes are also watery, most probably because of him being itchy all the time.
Is there a solution to this problem? How can I help stop these rashes from occurring upon my dog?
Massive thanks to whoever can assist me with this problem!

Open Question: cookie recipe for kids with food allergies?
My nieces have food allergies and would like to make them some cookies (all of the cookies given to the family as gifts throughout the holidays were off limits to them, poor things!). They are allergic to the following: eggs, soy, peanuts, and wheat. Any ideas? I've read that you can use rice flour in place of the white flour, but would prefer to use oats if that's possible (kind of like the chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies). thanks for any ideas!!
sorry, crusty! soy is off limits to them!
Open Question: Can anyone help me? Is this safe for a dog?
I am storing wet dog food in a 'plastic' tupperware. They are really expensive, and what I do is use 1/4 of it and put it on their dry dog food. I put the rest in the fridge.
Now I have heard that plastic causes allergies. I haven't seen any reactions from my dog, but a friend of mine said it wasn't safe. Is this true? Oh and my dog is eating of a stainless steel bowl.
Open Question: My cat won't use litter box.?
My cats have recently developed allergies. They started to go bald on the base of their tails and Coke wouldn't use the litter box, but only defecated overnight. The vet stated it was allergies, but did not know what to unless we tested them. I figured it was from the cat food as I had changed it recently, so I put them back on their old cat food.
They are on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine, and are doing better. However, Coke is still not using her litter box and is defacating overnight. I have caught Coke using the bathroom only once and have caught Rum peeing outside her litter box.
I keep the litter box clean. What should I do? Will it remedy itself as they feel better or do I need to retrain them? Help!
Open Question: Whats the best way to find the cause of a skin allergy?
Okay it all started about 3 years ago and stayed with me for just over 2 years. At the start I was working with fibreglass but even after I quit I was still itching my skin red raw for a long year.
It suddenly stopped, then returned quite recently really badly. I take allergy tablets daily costing me a lot and making me somewhat drowsy now and then. I mean the irritation caused by a strand of hair brushed across my skin can start it.
Is it my food? Soaps? Detergents? Nails?
I have changed to simple non allergy products, all natural household products. Changed materials to natural, still there. Then I thought maybe I have a unnoticeable fungal infection in my nails? I don't know? All I do know is I want it gone. It feels like little needles spiking me all over in random places.Urh. When I itch the skin inflames a real lot and for a long time, it heats up like I'm stood next to an open fire, and sometimes has the distinct colour of yellow. A hard lump sometimes when it gets really bad will appear. The pores in my skin are clearly visible to the naked eye. It looks shocking. I will get a photo up asap on here. Please if you have a story to tell or any suggestions please don't hesitate as I'm at my wits end. I would really appreciate your kind help. Thank you.

Open Question: 5 1/2 month old got diarrohea, bit long but advice needed?
My daughter has been very sicky (possetting) since she was put on formula at 10 weeks old, i thought she may have a dairy alergy as it runs in my family so i asked the doc and he said it wont be that as she doesnt have diarrohea,(she has always had quite hard stools since she was put on solids at 5 month) any way two days later she got diarrohea so i went back to docs and he didnt connect it to the sicking up (its not proper vommitong but is quite frequent after meals) he said give her half strength milk which i did and it improved a bit (although still quite loose) but now iv given her a bit of solid food again she has proper watery diarrohea. so im wondering if it is a bug or could be an allergy ( but dont think allergy as she only started with the diarrohea 5 days ago and been on fomula for a few months) have rang NHS Direct and am waiting for call back from nurse but just wondering if anyone has any advice??
oh, she isnt dehydrated though
Open Question: Do you have any Food Allergies?
And if you do what kind of food is it. Have you had experiences with that food and how do you avoid it. I also am doing a science pair project and I want to show a working demonstration on reactions of food allergies like sore throats, difficulty breathing, headaches, hives, constant coughs, wheezing, etc. Like for constant coughs I would have a tape recorder play coughs and wheezing noises. For tiredness, a balloon deflate as you loose your energy. What are some other ideas for the symptoms I explained. Like using balloons, recorders, etc. Thanks so much.
Resolved Question: Best diet for my dog?
I have a 2 year old chihuahua. She is not a small chihuahua (she is built a little bigger). I'm not 100% positive that she is pure bred, but I'm pretty sure. She needs to lose a little bit of weight. She is around 11 pounds. I'm not totally sure about her weight because anytime she gets weighed at the vet she won't stay still so it's hard to get an accurate weight. She has some kind of allergies (we've taken her to the vet a few times & we're still trying to figure it out) and I just found out that one of the medicines they put her on makes her gain weight. She already eats natural food & treats... but I just want to find a diet that really works & maybe some exercises she could do to help her lose the weight in a healthy way. Also, does anyone know how long/far of a walk she should go on and how many times per day? I really want her to be active & healthy. She means the world to me & I want the best for her. Thanks!!!
I try to keep her away from table scraps but my family & boyfriend's family does not seem to want to listen & they slip her some anyway. :( And recently she has been on an all lamb diet. Do you recommend cooking her food myself?
Open Question: what should i try next for my dog's allergies?
My 7.5 yr old pit-bull/lab cross has had allergy severe skin allergy problems since he was about a year and a half. its gets so bad he scratches off almost all of his fur, cuts all his skin open, chews his paws, his ears get badly infected. we've spent thousands over the course of his life on vets/medication/tests and we can't seem to control it without steroids, he's so sensitive if he doesn't have the steroids for 24 hours he breaks out in hives and it takes a week for him to feel better again. Since it is a year round allergy problem the vets think it must be food, but i feel like we've tried everything, all natural corn free grain free, duck, venison, salmon, Vegan... nothing seems to help. Anyone had a similar problem or know of anything else that might be causing the it?
any opinions on feeding raw? could this be my answer?
he used to get infections frequently when the vets would put him on 6 wks of meds then take him off, and on and off and on and off. so every time we had to give her tonnes of anti biotics along with steroids ( he takes vanactyl-p)
for his ears we have otto-clean and otto-max
Open Question: My 6 mth old daughter keeps getting very constipated... :(?
We have been doing solids for a couple mths now, but she started actually eating them about a few weeks ago, but it seems like she gets very constipated from certain things, particularly green beans. They are the only food that she actually likes at this point so i let her eat as much as she wants ( which isn't a whole lot i would think) but maybe it is to much? For a couple of days over Christmas she had pooped about 7 times a day and they were all hard "balls" i guess you could say.
Is she eating to much solids or could this possibly be an allergy? Thank you all :)
Open Question: Help! I think I'm alergic to my pet rat!?
I have had hamsters and rats for a long time and have never been allergic to them at all. I have no other allergies to animals or foods, just some seasonal allergies. Lately when I play with my rat I get very itchy after play time, it's minor and I can deal with it but it's a bit annoying. Is this because of my rat or something else, if so how can I stop it? It is just with the one rat, not the others.
She does scratch and climb all over me a bit more than the others ever did, and she is always rubbing up against me and begging to be scratched. So I definitely come into contact with her more than I did with my past rats and hamsters.
She is the first rex rat I've ever had.
Resolved Question: Any experiences with reoccurring diarrhea in a 15 month old? ?
My Son is going on 15 months old, and has reoccurring diarrhea. His stomach also gets highly distended. I've taken him to the doc and they told me to monitor his diet. He's on lactose-free milk (as we think there might be lactose intolerance (his Father is LI)), and I feed him fresh foods only, nothing processed. His diet is pretty diverse as far as the type of foods, so if it's another allergy, I can't nail it down as of yet. Any similar experiences with this? What'd you do? What caused it? Oh, and this is coupled with occasional vomiting as well.
Open Question: Allergy to Lime flavored alcohol?
So a few months ago i was drinking lime flavored smirnoff vodka and it was the first time i had this flavor. When i started to drink, my face was really really red. My face usually gets red when i drink, but never even close to how red it was this time. But i just ignored it and kept on drinking. The next morning i threw up for the first time in about 2 years from drinking, and trust me, i have drank a lot more than i did that night and have not gotten sick. So i just never drank that flavor again. So then, a few nights ago i was drinking bud light lime. I have drank this before, but only like 3 or 4 a night. This night i probably had atleast 8. And the next morning, sure enough, i got sick.
Sorry if i sound like an idiot, but is this common to happen to people, to just get sick off of a certain flavor? I've had plenty of other lime flavored food and non-alcoholic drinks and ive been fine.
Open Question: What to do to stop bad itching and reacting to foods?
I have allergies. Sometimes I can itch really bad to the point I bleed and it feels like its on fire, but I can't help stopping the itch. It either starts if my skin is dry and don't put cream, out of no where and whenever I shave my legs. I hate this feeling I also get it on my arms which bleed then then form scars and I feel embarrased if someone were to ask me what it is and I say it's a rash, but this will never go away. I have to be prescribed with some cream for it to go away. I also am allergic to foods like dairy, how am I suppose to enjoy myself it it hurts my stomach and gets me bloated and gassy. I also am allergic to garlic, pasta, and nuts which do the same as the dairy. I don't know what to do and my friends and I are suppose to watch a movie at my house and one wants to bring pizza and the other dip. What do I do?

Open Question: How much and how often should he be eating?
I have a 6 month old boy, he's 22 lbs and 28 3/4" long. He takes a bottle every 4 hours,at 7 oz each. He also has about 1 1/2 tblspns of oatmeal in each bottle because he has reflux. His pediatrician has told me to try to cut out some of the formula and give him more solids, but how much solids should he be eating? And how often?? Also, he won't eat stage 1 foods anymore, I think it's because they're too thin. Is it ok to give him the stage 2 foods, including the mc n cheese dinners, etc? We are going to try to avoid giving him meat until he is around 7-8 months old because poultry allergies run in my family. Thanks for answering!

Open Question: I have Red spots, Allergy ?
Yesterday afternoon, i started getting little red bumps on my chest.
At night, i could feel that my upper back also had a bit, and this morning, its chest, upper arms, shoulders, uppers back and neck ! D:
It became like a rash (a lot of little bumps), and i'm pretty sure that those are not pimples...
It itches a bit =/
I think that i might have an allergy to something...I don't think that its food, because i didn't really eat anything unusual. I did change my shampoo and conditioner to Dove (for curls), but i already have been using it for a week or two, so i don't get why i could get a reaction now D:
I'm also on the BCP. Is it an Allergy or something =( ??
Thanks !
Open Question: Basset Hound puppy and diarrhea issues...?
I have a 4 months old Basset Hound. He is very energetic, playful and the vet said very very healthy. But he has the on going issue of diarrhea at times. I have been feeding him California Natural, which is a great food. Simply Chicken Meal and Rice, however it is very rich. The vet said they do not believe the occasional diarrhea is something to be to alarmed about with him at this point they think it is simply the food and advised me to change it as California Natural is very rich and high in calories and it may just be too much for his sensitive stomach. Yesterday I bought a bag of Blue Buffalo. A very good food also. Last night I fed him 75% of his old food, 25% of the Blue. Also this morning and afternoon. This evening he developed severe squirting diarrhea. I am SO frustrated at this point! Not with him but the situation. Then of course due to the diarrhea he is chugging water, which is good so he does not get dehydrated but he is urinating like crazy.
I was looking at some dog foods for sensitive stomach and came across "Natural Balance, Sweet Potato and Fish" and read some really positive reviews from people who had the same issues with their dogs. I was wondering if anyone has used this food. My only concern with it is that is is a limited diet food. The first ingredient being Sweet Potato and that is is grain free. From what I understand you do not want to necessarily put a dog on grain free food unless it does have allergies because otherwise they may develop them and if you switch foods you may have problems. I am just so dam frustrated at this point I am willing to try anything. I am so concerned about my pup that I am not enjoying him this past few days. I want him to be healthy AND happy of course. I was going to buy a bag of the Natural Balance and begin switching him over until Monday when I can speak to his vet who I really trust and see what she says.
Any experience with this issue?
Open Question: Hives and facial swelling, whats the cause?
I have had ongoing hives for about six months now. Until recently, i have swelling of the face and lumps on my head. I have been taking benedryl and steriod shots and it doesnt help any. I dont know if the cause may be celexa because i started around six months ago. I googled some stories about this, and urticaria and angioedema caught my attention. So, now i am thinking it may be that.
Does anyone know what it may be? Or experience anything like this?
Also, i have had bloodwork and everything came back okay for food and environmental allergies, so i know its not that.
Thank you
Resolved Question: Oil & rich food allergy with PCOS? Good or Bad?
I have a slight Oil allergy. When I have a bit too much Oil/ fatty foods/Eggs/ Basically anything fried or that contains Oils I get the runs.
As a result I can only have small quantities of these. Is this a good or bad thing to have when I have PCOS? (As Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can lead to other serious diseases like diabetes/heart attacks etc). Because I have PCOS I think maybe having this allergy could be a good thing.
It doesn't bother me too much. I usually take a diarea tablet before I eat any food from any restuarant. Can any serious complications arrise from this? Doctors tests showed there was nothing wrong - just irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). So is this allergy doing me good or bad?
With PCOS people automatically assume you are overweight. What is you are under 50kg (under 100 pounds) and don't have high sugar levels?
Voting Question: i got scartopic mange from our dog?
So me and my brother have a place together and he brought home a puppy. i thought the dog had allergies because he was not cared for and was feed crappy food but turns out i got all these bumps on me. His dog has scartopic mange. i know this because he took his dog to the vet and got some meds for it. Its highly contagious and we have took the steps to confine the dog until treatment is done.NOW....What do i do? I have these bumps all over me!!! everywhere, and everyday their is more. I read the the mange mites cannot live on humans long and die once they try to go under your skin but they are still biting me in the mean time. I dont have health insurance so all im reading about is that i can spray flea stuff in my house to kill the adult mites but what about me??? Im pregnant and have no info if this can harm my baby, also have no info on safe meds i can use on me since im pregnant. I put on itch cream cuz it itches so bad BUT I NEED OTHER ADVICE AND SOMEONE WHO IS HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE ON SCARTOPIC MANGE TO TALK TO ME
Resolved Question: Any Experiences with Reoccurring Diarrhea in a 15 month-old?
My Son is going on 15 months old, and has reoccurring diarrhea. His stomach also gets highly distended. I've taken him to the doc and they told me to monitor his diet. He's on lactose-free milk (as we think there might be lactose intolerance (his Father is LI)), and I feed him fresh foods only, nothing processed. His diet is pretty diverse as far as the type of foods, so if it's another allergy, I can't nail it down as of yet. Any similar experiences with this? What'd you do? What caused it?
