Cows milk allergy? Any advice?

By jessica

This is my first blog and I’m doing it to see if anyone has any useful information they can give me. Let me tell you the problem, my 6 year old son was born with to the symptoms he has now.He was diagnosed with a CMA after showing severe colitis when he was about a week old. He was put on Neocate and after a year we weaned him back on cow’s milk. He showed no colitis so they said he’d outgrown the allergy.
Not long after this he developed an ear infection that for 18 months would not clear up. He had tubes put in to allow drainage. They were taken out 2 years later and they said that should be the end of his problems.

For the past 6 years we’ve been dealing with SEVERE behavioral and emotional problems. They now say he is ADHD, ODD & has anxiety disorder. Each set of symptoms were treated by a new specialist and none of them have ever questioned a link between them. I’m burdened by the possible link in all the symptoms and wondering if the allergy symptoms are still from the CMA. We are having testing done again for the CMA. What I’m trying to research is not only a link in the allergy symptoms but one to the behavioral/emotional problems. We can’t seem to find anything that is helping. Does anyone have any similar cases they are dealing with? Any suggestions?
