laura, this situation sounds very similar to my son. he was born w/ food allergies and by 11 months of age was allergic to corn, the top 8 food allergens, most beans, sesame and lentils. all allergies are iGe- mediated and RAST (blood test) confirmed. he also became allergic to rice & coconut 2 yrs ago but we've since overcome those as they happened during a bad flare-up when he became allergic to most of the 24ish things we can eat. earlier this year, i required a galactagogue. i knew better than to try fenugreek, as it is related to peanuts and he is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. commercially available domperidone does have *both* dairy and corn in it. i contacted the compounding pharmacy we have to use for all of his medications and they told me they compound domperidone (motillium) quite often. they compounded it into 30 mg capsules for me, completely free of any allergens and i was able to take 1 every 8 hrs around the clock for 90 mgs daily. at 3 weeks into the regimen, my son began reacting to it w/ rashes and hives after nursing. there was absolutely nothing new in our entire environment or diet that it could have been, we are that limited and controlled for him. i stopped and his torso rash began to clear up w/in 12 hrs of my last missed dose. by 24 hrs, he was completely cleared up. i waited 3 days and began to take it again. he broke out in hives 6 hrs after my 1st dose and took 12 hrs to clear up again. i definitely don't recommend stopping it cold turkey, but i didn't have much choice and luckily my supply didn't suffer for it. i am the only case i have heard of in my lactation work w/ a child definitely allergic to motillium through mother's milk and i work primarily moms and babies with food allergies now and recommend motillium fairly often, so this is anecdotally just one case...but i also don't see babies as allergic to as many things as early as mine was, as so it bears keeping mind whenever i work with other moms in a similar boat. i have a blog where i post about treatments, menu and life while breastfeeding and raising a child like this, if it can be of any help to you: www.greenandbitchy.blogspot.com. best of luck to this mom & baby & kudos to you both for helping to get him exclusively on breastmilk! mom should also take medical grade, allergen free probiotics and really focus on gut-healing foods for herself, too! ~jacqui gruttadauria, bsw (near detroit, michigan, USA - where my own little allergy guy (3.5) has been having his annual summer setback with weight loss, growth and developing new allergies & i am thanking my lucky stars as always that i bf until child led weaning as he is allergic to every formula and supplement available!) *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
