Milk allergy is the most common type of allergy that develops during childhood and it is caused when the immune system has an adverse reaction to different proteins in milk. If they suffer from milk allergy, children can experience a variety of symptoms like:
• coughing,
• wheezing,
• vomiting
• abdominal cramps
• and even severe diarrhea.
I am the father of an eight year old girl which has been diagnosed with milk allergy when she was only 3 months old. The pediatrician said that there are many chances that she will outgrow this condition, as 80% of the children that suffer from this type of allergy heal until they reach age of 6. Unfortunately, my daughter was not among these children. I have been dealing with her milk allergy symptoms for a long time, and I know how hard it is to avoid severe allergy attacks.
If you have an allergic child, you know that the best way to prevent an attack is by avoiding any kind of dairy products. But, even if they know they suffer from dairy allergy, children still have a "sweet tooth" and can easily be tempted to eat cookies, ice-cream or other delicious products that might contain milk. It is very important that you make the children and the people around them understand that some foods can be dangerous to them.
I know it can be difficult to warn everybody that comes in contact with your child not to feed her or him dairy products, but it is imperative to do it in order to avoid any dangerous situations. I know from experience that you cannot personally warn everybody, but you can use other tricks to let people know that your kid is on a dairy allergy diet.
Even if they suffer from dairy allergy, children will still have to go to school, go out to play or go to birthday parties where other people might offer them "treats". When you are not around, you can make your child wear a special T-shirt or a bracelet with a "Cow Milk Allergy" inscription.
I have bought my child a blue Dairy Milk Allergy Health Wrist Band Bracelet and it is been very helpful to me. She loves wearing it, she thinks it is "cool", and this way I know people will find out she is allergic even if I am not around to tell them.
Remember: even if they have milk allergy, children (especially the younger ones) might still be tempted to eat dairy products. It is your responsibility to prevent that and let people around them know they are on a special milk allergy diet and that they should forbid your child to eat foods that contain milk.
