Kalamiphile Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 My g.daughter is unable to have dairy due to excema. Her Mum is concerned she is not getting enough fat. She has salmon, mackeral, some formula, some breast and all home cooked food. Where else might she get her fat from? xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17509-essential-fats-from-non-dairy-products/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeban Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Avocados, bananas, houmousEdited to add BB100 makes an excellent point.

BB100 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 If a child is having food groups cut out of her diet she needs to see a dietitian to make sure she's getting the things she needs. Whilst it's really helpful for us to make suggestions on this forum, she needs to be referred to a dietitian by her GP.

Kalamiphile Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Fair point, just thought that judging by prevous posts there are loads of Mums who will have already faced this issue. Consultant never mentioned what to substitue when saying to cut out dairy!

Fuschia Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Could do with finding whether the cutting out of dairy is s trial or long term ...

Kalamiphile Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Difficult to say, she is 10 months and dairy does seem to aggravate and the medical treatments not making any improvement.

nymom Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Funny enough I saw a dietician yesterday for this issue - no dairy for my son due to a milk protein allergy. No soya either. I booked to see privately as I had concerns about his nutrients etc and the NHS just said "cut dairy". The dietician's main concern was calcium and the calcium fortified orange juice is a great source of this. She also recommended avocados and hummous, both of which my son dislikes due to the texture. HE eats most other foods, including mackerel etc. I am awaiting her full report via email and an post other things. I found the appointment very helpful though and would recommend seeing a dietician to get specifics for the child. Perhaps a referral can be made on the NHS if your daughter presses the issue.

Bluemum Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi, although I'm still giving dairy to my 1 year old who developed quite a bad case of eczema, recently I came across "Good oil" which is hemp seed oil produced in the UK and sold at Waitrose, at ?8 per 500ml bottle. I mix 1 teaspoon with her lunch and another with dinner. I was told by a friend about how the oil has helped with her eczema, and how the oil has a amazing array of essential vitamins. There are loads of articles on the net about how amazing the oil is, so take a look and see what you think. In the meantime, this is a good article:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4035/Eczema-healed-hemp-oil.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17509-essential-fats-from-non-dairy-products/#findComment-439927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

susyp Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 my daughter is allergic to dairy and has neocate milk on prescription - there is one for pre 1 year and one for post 1 year. Suggest your daughter batters her GP to prescribe. It's very expensive. In fact if she is not allergic could try nutramigen which is much less expensive. Nutramigen is broken down cows milk and ok for many children and neocate is completely chemically produced amino acids as I understand. Give you everything you need. I would definitely advise seeing a dietitian. I don;t think fat is the issue - calcium and iron are. GP can refer.Susypx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17509-essential-fats-from-non-dairy-products/#findComment-440148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
