I think the majority of people do outgrow milk allergies, but it can take a while. Given Xander's levels, I'm not sure his chances of outgrowing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1978037 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 01:54:35 +0000 Purpledaisy 1978037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry about the results :sad: we are pretty much in the same boat over here. I'm planning on getting her retested when she's around 3 or 4. I've read a lot of positive things about the likelihood of out growing dairy allergies eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1977982 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:06:26 +0000 ALV91711 1977982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you have a plan in place. It sucks that he is still so allergic though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1977843 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 22:27:19 +0000 meesker 1977843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatric gastroenterologist told us that 60% of kids with MSPI outgrow it by age 1 and 90% outgrow it by age 6. So there is hope. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1976077 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:19:53 +0000 Adira 1976077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: He's almost 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975983 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:36:37 +0000 BandDmommy 1975983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: ugh, I'm sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975982 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:35:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1975982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I hope he grows out of it, allergies are not fun to deal with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975958 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:18:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1975958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4.5 year old still has her nut allergies (severe) but tolerates all dairy except for fresh cow's milk now. I hope things will get better over time for your son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975823 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 15:53:22 +0000 Raindrop 1975823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww poor guy! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975785 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 15:40:27 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1975785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw I'm sorry his allergies are so bad. Luckily we live in a world now where dairy free is much more accommodated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975783 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 15:40:12 +0000 Mamaof2 1975783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Is he 1 or 2? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975781 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 15:39:18 +0000 Adira 1975781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: Thanks! That is encouraging! I guess a lot of people do eventually outgrow dairy allergies, but I think Xander's results indicate he won't be outgrowing it anytime son like I had hoped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975142 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:35:34 +0000 alohaorchid 1975142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if this helps at all, but in an attempt to hopefully make you feel better, I had a severe dairy allergy as a child. I couldn't even be around something that had touched milk. I would get stomach issues and break out in a rash from the slightest amount of dairy exposure. However, it did get MUCH better the older I got. </p> <p>Now, I am still dairy intolerant and I avoid it whenever I can, but it's definitely not even as close to what it was when I was an infant. I have no issues with dairy when it is baked in something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975090 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:14:52 +0000 blackbird 1975090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, poor guy :( Dairy is so hard to avoid, too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975087 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:13:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1975087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow!! Sounds like you have a good game plan in place, but still so hard to have to deal with such a strong dairy allergy. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975084 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:12:23 +0000 ValentineMommy 1975084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about his results, but at least you have answers, and a plan. :( Poor little guy (and mama). &lt;3 Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/xanders-allergy-results#post-1975044 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 09:58:00 +0000 Adira 1975044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We received the results of Xander's milk allergy testing. His milk IgE level was 16.10, which "suggests that there is a &gt;95% probability that ingestion of milk would result in a reaction of some sort - the severity cannot be predicted."</p> <p>Based on my limited research, milk IgE levels should be less than 0.35 to be negative, so Xander's level are fairly high. :bummed:</p> <p>Our allergist wants to do a baked milk challenge at some point where we give him a baked food with known milk to see how he reacts, but suggests waiting until age 3 or 4 to do that. For now we're instructed to continue to avoid dairy and we'll repeat the test in another year. </p>
