[imagine22]

My 9mth old baby has a problem with casein.

Does casein intollerance cause asthma or does that mean its a casein allergy? The asthma is not necessary immediate just if shes bee eating dairy she gets asthma that day sometimes but definitely that night. My daughter also gets vomiting and diarreah.

thanks

If your daughter is short of breath within 24 hours after ingesting dairy, that sounds an allergy (IgE reaction). You could take her to allergist for a skin test... it should be easy to diagnose.

My son has a severe intolerance to casein. He was fine when he was born, but by the time he was six weeks old he was vomiting, crying all the time, and had dark green diarrhea (nasty). I was starting to feel paranoid about calling the pediatrician's office, but then he started having blood in his diapers. The pediatrician suggested that maybe he was "straining" to have a bowel movement (at six weeks old? with diarrhea??), but I found some good information about casein intolerance on the web (Open Original Shared Link). Since I was breastfeeding, I eliminated dairy products from my diet and he improved dramatically. Within a few days he was sleeping much better (thank goodness!) and the bleeding stopped. After a few more weeks he was completely back to normal.

I wish you all the best! I know how scary it is when your child has a bad reaction to certain foods.
