If you read my last post, you already know that my son Jack was diagnosed as milk protein intolerant at 6 days old.  (If you didn't check it out, click here to catch up!}

As you could imagine, eating out, grocery shopping, and going to social gatherings all became a chore, especially since most people and eateries have never heard of milk protein intolerance before.  They were always quick to correct me, "don't you mean lactose intolerant?"  No.  I don't.    

It is true; I started this blog for a college course assignment.  I am grateful that I was required to do so because it is something I had been thinking about doing for a long time.  My story of how I came to be a Dietetic student is paved with the reason I am so interested in blogging about this topic... food allergies!

In March of 2008, only 6 days after my son was born, he woke up covered in bloody vomit.  After rushing him to the emergency room, followed by a transfer to a children's hospital, and then a barrage of testing, I received the news.  My baby, Jack,  was severely milk protein intolerant.
