Kristen, You asked about the allergy symptoms resolving sooner rather than later. My daughter's reactions due to wheat (made her vomit) and milk (made her wheeze, gave her a runny nose, and later allergic salute and allergic shiners -- a true milk allergy) disappeared the day after we withdrew them from her diet when she was 17 months old! Dr. E Stephen Beuscher spoke at a recent LLLI Physicians Seminar and he was passionate about the anitinflammatory properties of humans milk. If you remove the source of irritation to the gut, perhaps with these anti-inflammatory factors, the junctions between the cells are no longer disrupted and things settle down fairly quickly. His lecture is available as podcasts at the following URLs: _http://www.lalecheleague.org/mp3/LLL_Podcast_AntiInflammatoryCharacteristicso fHumanMilk.mp3_ (http://www.lalecheleague.org/mp3/LLL_Podcast_AntiInflammatoryCharacteristicsofHumanMilk.mp3) _http://www.lalecheleague.org/mp3/LLL_Podcast_AntiInflammatoryCharacteristicso fHumanMilkPt2.mp3_ (http://www.lalecheleague.org/mp3/LLL_Podcast_AntiInflammatoryCharacteristicsofHumanMilkPt2.mp3) I find the whole concept of the need for healing without inflammation in infants so fascinating.
