I have a four year old who is severely allergic to dairy. With that I have an infant that I was told should be breastfed or given soy formula for the first year in case of a severe allergy. With saying that, I am no longer able to brestfeed and I keep reading all about the dangers of soy products. Now I have two children that I’m not sure what to give them. ANY helpful info would be appreciated!!!!

Oh and for the RAW milk, how would I go about finding a trusting supplier??

I just saw your clip on ABC News regarding food allergies. When I was five years old I was diagnosed with Epilepsy and needed medication to control my seizers. The “childs” Medicine my doctor gave me was red in color. My parents not thinking anything about it gave me the medicine. Come to find out … I was and still am very allergic to red dye. Now being an adult, my wife and I have to read every label to make sure it doesn’t have it! At restaurants, grocery stores … everywhere we go! Even something simple as yellow gum has this “red” dye! Thank you for doing what you’re doing! You’ve been a big inspiration!

I think the major issue here is that these are all simply correlational studies NOT experiments. Therefore, soy can not be said to ’cause’ peanut allergy. (It would be like saying eating ice cream causes drownings simply because they are correlated in time (both occur more often in the summer). There could be something fundamentally different between children who end up on Soy formula (ie. lactose intolerance) that may also predispose them to other allergies later, thus having nothing to do with soy at all.
