When Your Kid Is Mildly Allergic to Milk

chrisbrogan September 14, 2008 6

Violette Driving That girl there, Violette, is mildly allergic to milk. She doesn’t go into shock and her throat doesn’t close. In fact, the only real thing we notice is that she behaves quite differently after having milk products than when she doesn’t. She misbehaves a lot more. She gets a bit more hyper and harder to calm down. She just isn’t exactly the same kid.

So now, she’s in first grade. She makes lots more decisions on lunch. There’s a lunch at her school called the “fun lunch,” which is milk, yogurt, cheese, and a vegetable of some kind (usually carrots). It’s like Satan on a tray for her. Of course, this is her favorite.

I’m not sure if I should raise the alarm and ask school to keep her away from milk, which is tricky for the school, and a bit of a flag to other kids that she’s different. It’s not like she’ll die from drinking it. It’s just that she acts better without it.

What would you do?
