My son is highly allergic to beef and dairy. We have known about the dairy since birth but just found out about the beef in March he is 4. I have always been concerned about bone growth, and now since he is allergic to beef also they are concerned about bone growth, and and he has had to have 2 dental surgeries already since he is not getting the calcium and vitamins he needs. What can he be given to make up for all of the calcium and other vitamins he is missing? We have been to a nutrionist and she told me to have him eat all these vegetables and stuff and he won't do it. He also sees an allergist who has him on allegra 2x a day, singulair 1 x a day, pariactin 1x a day, a nose spray and an eye drop. He takes so much but I really don't see how its really helping him. Thanks!

Hello,

I would suggest the children's multivitamin for your son.  I would also suggest working on his digestion since the allergies are generally and immune system response and most of the immune system originates in the GI tract.  I would also use the Complete Probiotic but due to his age you would use 1/2 capsule twice per day.  You could open the capsule and put this in his food.  It would more than likely be a benefit for him to be gluten free also since this is a leading cause of digestive and immune system disorders.

Where would I be able to get that at? I am willing to try anything at this point to help him.
