Ear infections and Vegetarianism

[Guest guest]

My daughter didn't have an ear infection until she was four. She and I

both got the ear infection because of the rapid change in climate where

we live-East Tennessee. She was on Soy Formula from Birth due to

allergies. She then became allergic to the Soy Milk, Lactaid and then

went to Vitamite, which chalked up on the table if spilled. She then

started drinking milk at 2 1/2 because her daycare worker had run out of

the Vitamite I provided and had given her milk and she no longer had a

reaction. I on the other hand am still allergic to milk. But, I had

never had an ear infection as a child and I drank milk daily until I was

18 yrs old. It wasn't until age 26, I am now 27 that I got my first ear

infection. I have sinuses/allergies, as does my daughter and moving here

where the whether goes from freezing cold in the morning to steaming hot

then to cold in the evening, or from 30 degrees oneday and 80 the next,

and rainy the day after that, such a constant switch irritates our

sinuses. We are just now switching to Soy Milk. I wouldn't go so far as

to say that milk drinkers have more ear infections because their are

other factors that might cause an ear infection besides dairy.
