I have mostly lurked on here, but have posted occassionally in the past 2 years. My son had a LOT of health problems for the first 20 months of his life. I kept thinking in my head it might be food intolerances, but the pediatricians, allergists, and ENT's kept telling me it was impossible because he passed the skin test. But it was a nagging feeling in my head and I kept returning to these boards to read and learn more about food intolerances. When my son was 20 months old, we took out all milk protein and soy and it HEALED him. He had 18 ear infections, 6 hospitalizations, 5 rounds of bronchitis, reactive airway with regular nebulizer treatments, severe excema, and horrible reflux. He was literally drowning in mucus all the time. At 20 months we took everything out and he hasn't had an ear infection..no bronchitis, the excema disappeared, the strange 2 week long vomiting episodes went away, his breathing is regular. His behavior has improved about 100 fold. It was shocking but reaffirming at the same time. I was right, and I'm so glad I followed my mothers intuition as well as help from this board, even though most of you probably didn't know you were helping me because I was mostly reading.
