Does Drinking Cow S Milk Cause EE In Children?

We live in USA and My son (6 years old now) is diagnosed with EE. He was put on Prevacid and Flo-vent (through mouth). The allergist did some Allergy tests and nothing useful came back. he is not allergic to any food. And he was on medicine for 6 months and then he went to India for 3 and half months and he was on medication while in India. He did much better in India. On returning to US, after 5 weeks we did an endoscopy on him and the EE was resolved. The doctor asked us to take him off the medicine. After 6 months. he is not doing well and on doing the endoscopy, the EE is back. Why was it resolved in the first place? was it because he was in India? he is on Buffalo milk in India. In US, he is on cow s milk. Will it make difference? Will Large amount of milk (like cheese pizza, cheese cake ) can make him intolerant?

Hello,

Cow's milk is known to cause eosinophilic esophagitis.

Being on buffalo milk usually will not make any difference as the basic protein is the same composition.

Cheese and other junk food which you have quoted can aggravate the situation, please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
