It made both of us feel so much better. Even now, as he's over the intolerance and I'm no longer breastfeeding, I find we're both happier with less dairy. That being said, a lot (at least 10%) of kids with dairy issues also have soy issues.

With kids prone to eczema, giving up dairy can be a good start to finding a way to manage the eczema w/o medication. If the dairy is making his tummy upset or causing some of his itchiness, it would be worth eliminating. We'll see how it goes.<BR/><BR/>-snickSnickollethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123630374052898460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626032.post-87136197173949206912008-04-15T10:41:00.001-07:002008-04-15T10:41:00.001-07:00"Confessed to my mom and stepdad that I'm really, ..."Confessed to my mom and stepdad that I'm really, really sad most of the time."<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry to hear that...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626032.post-31784803710169319772008-04-15T10:41:00.000-07:002008-04-15T10:41:00.000-07:00Nice to read your post, the exercise plan seems li...Nice to read your post, the exercise plan seems like a good one.
