I totally get doing...I know this is an old post. <br /><br /> I totally get doing it rather that looking back in regret. My youngests is 4 and my oldest, who is my type 1 is 15. When my youngest was born we did everything reasonable that research suggested may contribute to t1, especially his 1st year of life...<br /><br />When he HAD to have formula for 2 days at 1week old (he wasn't nursing right and was getting nothing or close ti nothing, my flow dropped, he'd lost 2 pounds and was becoming dangerously dehydrated and at serious risk of having a seizure because of it - I hated it but was necessary) I bought nutramigen (the formula used Many years ago in the cow milk study. Other than this 1-2 days it took me to get my flow back and pump feed him bm, he was exclusively nursed till 10mo and nursesd to 3½. I gave him vit d, zero dairy till after 1yr (incl cross-contamination) avoided the rest if the top 8 allergens, incl wheat (also suggested as contributing to type 1)till 1 (not as diligently as dairy though) he was in the TEDDY study at birth and tested neg to whatever genes they tested for. Really did all the things that I looked at and felt if I didn't do them, with the info that I had, and he developed t1, I'd regret.<br /><br />Really, he's one kid who shouldn't get type 1, right?<br /><br />Well, yesterday, we got the Trialnet call, on him (not our 11yo who was 2 when oldest was dxd, so didn't try much with her - really the milk theory was the only one then add they were still recruiting for it then).. <br />... 3 positive antibodies... <br /><br />I'm glad I did all that though, I can honestly look back and know I did everything I had the power and control to do. :)<br /><br />they are all different, and these precautions might help, but not necessarily.

They are delish!
I...Have you tried Tofutti Cuties? They are delish!<br /><br />I had a true milk allergy as a child (not just intolerance) but have mostly outgrown it. I can handle any kind of processed milk product (cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc), but I still react a little to plain old milk.Leighann of D-Mom Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289870330777487829noreply@blogger.com
