cows milk intolerance

Dear Peter.
                    It sounds as though your granddaughter is having a very rough time.
The fact that she responded to the Dairy-free diet but did not have lactose-intolerance, suggests that she has cow's milk protein intolerance.
Despite your strictness with the diet, the recurrence might be due to inadvertent exposure to cow's milk. It is amazing the solids that have milk protein in them. You need to check whether any product states that it has cow's milk solids or casein in it and avoid these. The only margarine that is safe is Nuttelex.
If all this has been done, and the problem, continues, she may have developed an allergy to some other food. Just about anything can provoke an allergy, but the most likely at her ages would be eggs.
Please let me know what happens and we can pursue some other approaches.
David
