My son was diagnoed with a milk/soy protein intolerance at 2 months old after having soy and milk based formulas. He spit up alot’ had blood and muccus in his stools and was very fussy. A few months later they gave him a rast test to check for allergies and they said it showed that he didn’t have any allergies. So we started giving him milk based formula. He did great. A week ago we started gradually switching to whole milk and he started spitting up more, (he has infant reflux) stuffy nose and sounds congested. The congestion comes and go’s. Now the docters says he has a little milk intolerance. The doc wants him to drink soy milk but, he says he can eat things with milk in it. The docter said he had a soy allergy before l wounder if he can tolerate soy.

My brother and cousin both had mspi and infant reflux. both were fine by the time they turned 1. The doctors said to play it safe and dont rush into milk and soy if he is still showing symptoms then he is not ready to have milk or soy. try again in a few months. other common intolerances are nuts, wheat, corn, and strawberries so it maybe any of these that are causing problems. When you decide to see if he has outgrown his tolerances then add one thing at a time. like milk and wait a couple weeks to see if anything happens then try something else. by having mspi babies have a higher risk of developing allergies to any foods later (my aunt still carries a kid epipen just incase my cousin eats something that he has developed an allergy for) good luck I know mspi can be difficult to deal with.
p.s. be glad your doctor was able to recognize mspi while your son was that young. my brother and cousin were only diagnosed after six months of screaming.

My 2 oldest sons couldn’t have soy as babies either nor could they have milk because of the milk fat the only choice we had which worked for us was dry milk. It’s kind of expensive but it beat all the throwing up and bloody stools. we also discovered that the boys were allergic to the iron in the formulas so that may be a consideration for you. Maybe try soy again but get the kind without iron. Hope things improve.

My now 12 year old daughter had an allergy to Similac & Enfamil and Isomil & Prosobee when she was between 6 weeks ( she also developed her first of many sinus infection at 6 weeks ) and 4 years old, during that time she was put on Alimentum formula ( she finally got off that at 4 years of age). She had bad cradle cap which her pediatrician said was a type of allergy to Isomil,Prosobee,Similac and Enfamil. She still doesnt drink milk, but is fine with mac and cheese and yogurt. Sounds like ur child might have an allergy to milk as I do not know of milk intolerance having those symptoms however Lactose Intolerance causes diahrrea,bloating,gas etc..I know b/c I have Lactose Intolerance and cant not drink or eat anything with milk in it.
