re introducing dairy

My son has been off all dairy for about 1 1/2 yrs, I’m really nervous about doing a trial. He used to get such a horrible diaper rash and diarrhea, and would be in such pain. He still to this day does not have formed stools and he is almost 2 1/2 yrs old. I gave him watermelon a few days ago (which he hasnt had since last summer) and he got diarrhea and a rash from that!!! He was allergy tested at 1 yr old and everything came up negative (even milk which I know he cant tolerate). Should I have him checked for allergies again? (It was the blood testing). I hope someday soon he’ll be able to have dairy and we wont have to worry when we go out to eat if there’s any hidden dairy in his food… why do they have to put milk in everything???

We tried soy with Carson quite a while ago. I started with soy yogurt. It came in a 4 pack, so each day I gave him a soy yogurt. All was great so I bought another 4 pack. We got to day 6 and he got spots on his chin and started having horrible nights. Our dietitian said that allergies are like filling a bucket up with water. So, if Ryder didn’t have any dairy in her system, you can give her yogurt for several days (good choice as per our nutritionist). She will either tolerate it and be GREAT or you will notice as soon as “her bucket is full and it will then overflow”. It could take many days, though. I really wish you great days ahead!! Good luck! Go Ryder!! Wouldn’t that be wonderfuL!
