THOUSANDS of babies are suffer-ing from eczema, vomiting and colicbecause doctors are failing to recog-nise they are allergic to cow’s milk,a new campaign claims today.
Too many GPs are ignorant aboutthe condition and write off symp-toms as nothing serious, accordingto the charity Allergy UK.
But it can leave children needingtreatment for weeping eczema,
sores, reflux, vomiting, facial swell-ing and breathing difficulties.
And even mothers who exclusivelybreast-feed run the risk of cow’s-milk proteins being passed to theirbaby through their own milk.
Not to be confused with lactoseintolerance, cow’s-milk allergy(CMA) occurs when the bodylaunches an immune response to theprotein in cow’s milk. Lactose intol-erance is caused when the body isunable to digest the sugar in milk.
On average, it takes five monthsfor CMA to be correctly diagnosed,
research by the organisation found.Nathalie Dyson-Coope, 33, said shehad to take her son Callum Newmanto see medics nearly 50 times beforehe was finally diagnosed with CMA.
‘When he was born, I exclusivelybreast-fed him and for the first eight
weeks he was fine,’ said the NHSadministrator from Buckingham-shire. ‘But after that, his symptomsstarted to appear.’
At 12 weeks, Callum was admittedto hospital with severe eczema, hisskin so sensitive that hugging himwould leave him in pain. It was onlyat 16 months, and after many visitsto A&E, that he was allergy-tested.
Allergy UK and Mead JohnsonNutrition, which makes prescrip-tion-only infant formula for CMAsufferers, found many GPs under-estimate how common the condition
is. A third believe it affects justone in 10,000 babies – or 70 a year –when the actual figure is nearer onein 20, or 35,000 annually. In one inthree cases, parents end up takingtheir babies to A&E because ofundiagnosed CMA.
Dr Neil Shah, who sees hundredsof cases at Great Ormond StreetHospital, said: ‘There is an aware-ness issue with GPs and all doctorsabout CMA and, in fact, there is still
some disbelief that it exists at all.’A spokesman for Allergy UK –which has launched the websiteisitcowsmilkallergy.co.uk – said:‘Undiagnosed CMA leaves infants indistress and puts families throughunnecessary anxiety.’
A spokesman for the NHS Trustthat treated Callum said: ‘It can bedifficult to confirm a diagnosis ofallergies as the symptoms could becaused by other factors.’
