my two year old child need some advice on health issues

my two year old has a bunch of health problems and i wondering if anyone else had a similar problem like his...he has low protein and low iron and is now starting to have liver enzymes rising also and he has to drink a formula that is called vital jr. he is also allergic to peanuts,strawberries,milk,soy,penicillin,diflucan,omnicef, and certain molds. i am extremely worried that he might die one day or something..hes a very picky eater but still eats alot when i give him what he loves the most which is hot dogs and any veggies..hes a very good boy and i just want to know what this might be starting to look like in a disease sorts or if he has some other hidden reason why this is all happening to such a sweet child. i have talked to his doctor repeated times and he says some kids acctually start out like this when they are put on cows milk and the cows milk starts a infection in their stomach or intestines. and that is wasn't my fault because it just happenes sometimes..he has to go to a g.i. doc on the 12th and i still feel like they are not finding something in his system that is causing this. he is already on a milk free, soy free diet and if that doesn't work then they will move on to a wheat free diet along with the milk and soy free one. is there any solutions out there or does he have a rare disease and no one knows it yet?? what should they test for and what should they do to help farther instead of poking him to hell and gone every appointment? please advise if you had the same peoblem r know what might be causing all these problems!

Has he been tested for all allergies so you know exactly what he can eat? Unfortunately in some children who become allergic to some things, it may have triggers to other allergies. From your statement, of low iron and low protein, it sounds like there is more then allergies happening. Maybe get a 2nd opinion.

my daughter is also allergic to nuts and chocolates. when she was 6 weeks i started to gave her bottled milk which caused an allergic reaction to her body. her pediatrician prescribed especial milk(vegetable milk, not a soya milk) which is only being ordered in the drug stores. now she is not allergic to cow milk anymore, for she is now drinking fresh milk. she was also allergic to egg(only the white, as the dr. said), thanks GOD, now she is not allegic to egg anymore. her pedia said that as she grows, she will get used to it. i always buy nuts free foods for her and i think that is the reason that she is also very picky eater. she doesn't wants to eat carrots and drink fresh squeezed orange juice! but her favorite vegetable is spinach. my daughter is now 3 1/2 years old, but she is still allergic to nuts and chocolate. i think you need to go for a second opinion! if your dr. is prescribing a medicine(s) which is(are) not working then it's time to find another doctor and ask for a milk come from vegetables(not soya), it is available here in the netherlands but i don't know if they have there in your country. just relax and you will be fine. God bless you and your child.
