I believe 50% of babies with dairy intolerance also have a soy intolerance. My daughter had both (in addition to some others). I opted to eliminate both from my diet because I didn't want to waste four weeks only eliminating dairy and then if it didn't work not know if it was because she didn't have a dairy allergy, or if it was because she also had a soy allergy.

My LO had a dairy intolerance, but then they also recommended to just eliminate soy from my diet (I was breastfeeding) to be on the safe side. I was just going to do dairy at first and see if that helped, but then I figured I might as well do both as she was miserable. Now that she is older, she is fine with both dairy and soy, so hard to say which one was the problem.

Yup. He was on Neocate from 3-10 months, then we transitioned back to soy. Now at 21 months be is drinking cows milk and can eat anything. Out ped said 80% of kids with milk allergies have soy allergies too.

LO1 is allergic to dairy but not soy. LO2 is allergic to both dairy and soy.

Yes, and gluten too.

There was no improvement when we removed just dairy, noticeable improvement when I removed soy, but a HUGE improvement when I removed wheat protein.
