What’s the difference between lactose intolerant and CMPA?

Lactose intolerance doesn’t start until a couple years old or older. Because they have to build up an intolerance to like the sugars. Your baby can be sensitive to dairy which is how my daughter is. I don’t think she has a full allergy because she doesn’t get sick or have blood or rashes or anything she’s just very very cranky and upset the next day. And yes lactose is in all milks breast milk included so it wouldn’t be a problem with that. Your baby could just have colic I’m general which can make them cranky and isn’t necessarily a dairy thing. Baby could also potentially be allergic to something else you are eating. Is it just colic and crankiness or is there also rashes. You could cut out gluten and see if that helps improve anything

thank you Gabrielle 🙏 my daughter broke out in eczema, colic, watery poop and reflux. I’m still trying to get rid of all the symptoms it’s just a hell of a journey right now.

my ped told me if cutting dairy doesn’t get better within a few weeks then we’ll cut soy as well. then if still not better cut eggs as well. bc i guess a lot of those allergies go hand in hand especially dairy and soy

also (i’m sure u know this) but you have to cut ALL dairy, read every single label. whey & casein is in a lot more than you would think

CMPA is a reaction to the protein in cow's milk, caused by the body's immune system. Lactose intolerance is being unable to digest the sugars in milks, including breastmilk.
The protein in soy and egg (and also goat/sheep milk) are very similar to that of milk, so allergies are often closely related - if the immune system responds to one it often responds to the others. You could try removing all 3 (dairy, soy and egg) from your diet and then if there are improvements slowly reintroduce one at a time a few weeks apart - I reintroduced dairy first (by accident but she reacted 5/6 hours later), then soy (as a vegetarian it was so hard going soy free so I was hopeful and she's 🤞 okay so far or the reaction isn't as bad/obvious), then egg (she came out in a nappy rash the next day for the first time ever and cleared quickly after no egg).

CMPA - Allergy to a protein only found in cows milk

Lactose intolerant - intolerant to all milk with lactose.

If you’ve cut out dairy, other problem foods include oats, soy, eggs, peanuts and sadly, coffee and tea too at times.

Cut them all out and then slowly reintroduce them one at a time. You’ll find the problem food that way.
