I thought it best to have a separate thread for this so those seeking info about this can have a read !
Milk soy protein intolerance (MSPI) is the inability to digest the proteins found in cow’s milk and soy foods. This differs from true food allergies (such as hives and anaphylactic reactions) in that it is not a true immune system response. It is more likely a poorly understood metabolic reaction.
MSPI is in more common in children, particularly infants, but also occurs in adults. It can also be referred to by the names eosinophilic gastroenteritis, allergic colitis and food protein-induced colitis. It is a growing problem occurring in 2-7% of babies under one year old. MSPI does seem to have a congenital link as families typically have more than 1 child with it.
Read more through this site from which the above comes from which has great info, foods to avoid etc :MSPI Kids (http://mspikids.info/)
Another fact sheet type thing with info to help : The food Intolerant/ Allergic baby (http://home.vicnet.net.au/~disa/Food%20intol-alergic%20baby.html)
