Some good news from Ben's allergist
The good news from Ben's allergist today is that Ben can continue consuming dairy since his allergy is weak and he's asymptomatic. Phew.
We've decided, however, to continue with soy milk for drinking and allowing dairy into his diet in the form of cheese, yogurt, and as an ingredient in other foods. Ben's reaction to casein was certainly much stronger when Ben was <6 months old, and although his consumption has increased significantly when we transitioned him to whole milk on the advice of his GP, at 12 months his reaction is next to nil -- a good sign that his milk allergy will eventually be a thing of the past.
