Other symptoms include eczema or other skin rashes, asthma, chronic nasal congestion, fatigue, learning disabilities, recurrent bronchitis, chronic ear infections, and vomiting. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, try eliminating all milk and dairy products from the diet. Watch for signs of improvement. There has been much success in eliminating asthma, ear infections and eczema after discontinuing all dairy products. Cow s milk can also cause colic in babies.
Mothers can pass the milk proteins to their nursing babies if they drink cow s milk themselves.
According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, researchers found that a specific dairy protein sparks an autoimmune reaction, which is believed to be what destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Another serious problem is the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in milk. It contains about 35 grams of fat per quart. 60 percent of this is saturated. It is very low in the essential fatty acids that your child needs.
