Questions

1. In regards to breastfeeding if I’m not eating dairy am I still producing calcium in my milk for bub? (watch at 47:32)
2. When reintroducing dairy/soy into the diet is it better to reintroduce through my breastmilk or give it directly to my baby? He is 8.5 months old and I’ve been dairy/soy free for 6 months. My allergist hasn’t mentioned anything yet (but our consultation was only via telehealth). (watch at 48:29)
3. I have had to exclude soy bean oil and soy lecithin from my toddler, he reacts with immediate red flush cheeks that don’t disappear with anti-histamines, mucous and eczema skin. What is he reacting to, if it’s refined? (watch at 50:08)
4. We have a 4-year-old, who is toilet trained so it is very hard to distinguish if there is mucous or blood in their stools. We notice though that the child (dose dependent) is off her food for about 1 or 2 weeks after trialling the milk ladder. It’s really challenging to distinguish exactly how much, or if it’s due to someone else that isn’t related (eg: hot days)? How would you manage this, and how often would you challenge the child again? (watch at 51:36)
5. We were told to boil cow’s milk for a good 20 minutes to remove all source of protein where this is safe for the child to have. Is this an alternative way to help include milk into their diet? (watch at 54:18)
6. What about butter? Where does it fit in the allergenic list? (watch at 57:10)
7. My son is 4yo and experiences vomiting and diarrhoea when eating dairy. What type of allergy is he likely to have? (watch 58:25)
8. What calcium supplement do you recommend given caltrate contains soy? (watch at 59:37)
9. Can the CMPI persist throughout life? My kids have both allergies (nuts) and intolerances (dairy, preservatives etc). (watch at 1:01:12)
