I am a 22 year old female living in Germany. I am following a milk-free diet because I develop symptoms when I drink milk or consume any milk products.

« My 14 month old son is on soy formula. The Canadian Pediatric Association does not recommend soy formula in milk allergies, but I don`t know if that is because of the unknown effects of phytoestrogens, as our Public Health people indicate, or because of the cross-reactivity of the proteins? Also, what are your thoughts on the research to indicate that soy formula may increase the risk of peanut allergy? During the past five years I have consulted several allergists to find out exactly which foods I am allergic to. I have had four different allergy tests and each one gave a different result. I had scratch tests, prick tests, a blood test, and a Vega test. They all showed that I am allergic to many foods, but the only food that all the tests agreed on was carrot! I am avoiding all of the foods testing positive, but find I have very little to choose from and know that my diet is quite unbalanced now. And I still have a lot of symptoms. Which of these tests should I believe? I am very confused – and very hungry! »
