Yes, if there is a cow’s milk allergy soy milk can be used. Check the labels, if milk is in the product it should be listed.

Thanks for looking at the site. I am not exactly sure what your question is. I do not have experience in true internet ‘forums’. This current arrangement on WordPress works fine for me.

There are many things that could be at work here. Allergy may be one of many things that can have an impact. If an anti-histamine is used and helps the itch, that’s great. However, the major impact of using an anti-histamine is to help with sleep. The sedating anti-histamines used at night may help.
Dry skin is itchy skin- keep the skin moist. An evening bath is recommended. Once out of the tub, pat dry and liberally apply vasoline to keep the moisture in the skin. Wet wraps- wet pajamas at night can be soothing to the skin.
Do note that in the story you related, there is not avoidance of dairy if goat cheese is being given to the child. Goat and Cow cross-react and share many allergens. In a cow’s milk sensitive child, the substitution goat’s milk is not appropriate.
Be sure to check with the pediatrician, the allergist, and the dermatologist regarding other confounding problems like skin infection, allergen exposures that are not obvious, and the proper type of ointments and how to apply them and where to apply them. Making those nights more comfortable can be an issue addressed by the child’s health care providers.
There is no cure, there are options for better control.

My three and half year old grandson has exima. He itches every day and is most disturbed at night when he tries to sleep. The first three to four hours of sleep are disturved by constand itching. He may sleep through these episodes but he wants his mother or father to itch him while sleeping. He was tested at an allergist and is highly allergic to eggs, he will break out almost immediately if he has anything with egg in it. My daughter has put him on a wheat free dairy free and egg free diet.
she also has removed strawberries and most citric fruits.
He eats goat cheese and drinks almond milk, and eats rice bread. The diet has helped somewhat but his inability to sleep peacefully is most disturbing to him and his family. I do remember that when he was very young under a year old that his skin had dry patches but it did not itch then. at about two his skin became very itchy and red patches and that bleed at times, especially in the winter. My grandson’s name is Riley. At times his self esteem was affected by this exema problem. Please e-mail me any info on this condition. We all hope for a cure of that he will out grow his exima problem but right now some help for this especially so that he could sleep through the night would be wonderful.
Thank you,
Riley’s Grandma
