Children’s allergies: allergy to milk CHILDREN’S ALLERGIES: ALLERGY TO MILK
In the first six months of life, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, intestinal bleeding, constipation, eczema, rhinitis, asthma, or anaphylactic shock may be symptoms of allergy to milk. The symptoms may be acute or chronic, simple or complicated with malnutrition.
It is possible to confuse allergy to milk with an allergy to the penicillin contained in the milk of cows treated with penicillin; with an allergy to the fish used to feed the cows; with a lactase enzyme deficiency (a baby's intestines may lack the enzyme that digests the sugar of milk); or with a celiac disease (an intestinal malabsorption of milk).
The incidence of allergy to cow's milk is increasing daily because breast feeding has diminished greatly in this country. Babies are now fed formulas based on evaporated cow's milk, which is inexpensive, easy to procure, and nourishing. It is an ideal food for calves; but it frequently causes allergies in atopic babies.
Cow's milk is composed of fats, sugars, and many kinds of proteins. Among the proteins, only lactalbumin is allergenic. However, because lactalbumin is different in each kind of animal species, changing cow's milk to goat's milk may ease the allergy. If this change proves unsatisfactory, then powdered cow's milk (which has been boiled and refrigerated) should be tried.
If this altered kind of milk does not provide relief, then a substitute must be found to feed the baby. This is a very important decision whose consequences must be weighed carefully; at times it might be preferable for a child to have a mild case of eczema or some nose stuffiness instead of depriving him of a nourishing food. However, if it is imperative to eliminate cow's milk from the diet of a baby, then all the food items which may contain milk must also be eliminated. Such foods include cheese, cream, and butter; custard, Junket, ice cream, milk pudding; batters, waffles, pancakes, cakes, cookies, and prepared flours (such as Bisquick); ordinary bread; malted milk, Ovaltine, Cocomalt, drinking chocolate, buttermilk, canned or dried milk; milk chocolate candy, chocolate creams, filled candy bars, nougat; cottage cheese and other cheeses; Cream of Rice and macaroni; foods prepared with milk, cheese, and cream, such as gravies, cream sauces, fritters, rarebits, timbales, souffles, au gratin dishes, and omelets; Weiner schnitzel, frankfurters, and other sausages (because dried skimmed milk may be used in them as a binder) ; powdered milk.
The elimination of cow's milk from the diet of a baby must be made complete by feeding him with plates and spoons of a disposable nature. Minerals, iron, and vitamins have to be added to the diet, and substitution should be made wherever possible.
Butter substitutes: Marparv, Willow Run oleomargarine, Mother's Nuspread.
Whipped cream substitute: Rich's Whipped Topping.
Cow's milk substitutes: Isomil, Mull Soy, Neo-Mull Soy, Pro-Sobee, Soyalac, etc. This kind of milk is prepared from the soya bean plant which is of vegetable origin and is usually well tolerated; however, it may sometimes cause large and frequent bowel movements, and its taste may have to be improved upon with a few drops of vanilla extract, molasses, or honey. If it is not well tolerated, feeding has to be achieved with strained lamb meat instead. The following is Row's strained lamb formula which is a complete and healthful food:
8 oz. strained lamb or 6 oz. strained beef
3 1/2 tbsp. sesame oil or soy oil
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. calcium carbonate
1/2 tsp. salt
1000 cc. or 41/2 cups water
2 tbsp. potato flour or 2 1/2 tbsp. tapioca flour
Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in one cup of water. Cook over low heat for ten minutes; then add the lamb (or beef), the oil, and enough water to make a volume of 41/2 cups. Cook over low heat for ten to fifteen minutes. Reduce the amount of flour if you wish a thinner product.
