Also, it can be cumulative. My son doesn't react now until he has had a few days of dairy in his system. It also stays in there so if you eat some hidden dairy it will reactivate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-intolerance-how-long-after-eating-dairy-does-it-affect-lo#post-222302 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:53:38 +0000 regberadaisy 222302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dairy stays in your system for 1-2 weeks. So take that plus another 1-2 weeks in your LO's system you really need to eliminate for 3-4 weeks to see the full effects of it on our LO.</p> <p>It sounds like it could be the dairy since the fussiness came after you had something that was so heavy on dairy like a milkshake and ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-intolerance-how-long-after-eating-dairy-does-it-affect-lo#post-222298 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:50:03 +0000 BeachMama 222298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to eliminate dairy to see if it has an effect on LOs fussiness. I'd gone a week or so without dairy then had a cupcake and ice cream on Sunday. On Tuesday she was more fussy. On Wednesday I had a milkshake and on Friday thru Sunday she was super fussy, and seems more gassy. I just don't know if it's due to the dairy or if it's just normal fussiness. Would it take 2 days for it to really affect her or is it sooner after I eat it? </p>
