Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for you:

1. I would suggest you to go for allergy testing for the foods causing problems to you, especially milk & rice. If reports suggest you have allergies, the best strategy would be avoidance of the foods you are allergic to.

2. If your investigations are not suggestive of food allergy, I would think of digestion abnormality rather than allergy. In such patients, I usually suggest them to avoid the foods causing problems to them for 3 months and take probiotics and multivitamin-multimineral supplements during that period.

Thereafter I advise them to gradually introduce the foods which were withheld.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
