Tina C Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Emma - I have a friend who had child with serious milk allergy - a case of don't touch/kiss her if you have been eating milk chocolate or icecream etc. She had an epipen too. Mum was told in X% of cases they grow out of it by 5 - and she has! The biggest nightmare was that food maufacturers would change ingredients without warning. So friend would find suitable version of things (I was amazed at how many types of bread contain milk) but next time she went shopping it would have milk listed on the ingredients - constant label reading required, don't envy you at all. Hope that your little one grows out of it too, although I expect 5 seems a long way off still.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks Tina. Its good to hear a success story Yes the nurse warned us that if milk was spilt on the floor and then Isabelle touched it she could have a huge reaction Im sure all will be fine though and having the epipen as a backup will be good - I pray I will never have to use it and hope that if I have to I get it right and dont end up stabbing myself! The consultant said 80% of children grow out of milk, wheat & egg allergies so I hope Isabelle is in this bracket Packet reading has been my life for the past 10 weeks being on this crazy withdrawal diet so much so Im getting really good at it!
