Food allergy, stomach pain, itchy, stinky breath, leg pain, flatline on percentile charts?

Any ideas?

He was breastfed and constantly spit up (like waterfalls). From birth he was itchy. At about a month old he developed what his doctor called " the worse case of baby acne she had ever seen." His face looked like Freddy Krueger. He would wake up constantly in the middle of the night screaming in pain with his stomach hard as a rock. A few of times he had spots blood in his stool.

Around 1 year he would wake up 2-3 times at night being itchy and scratching his legs.

When he began eating food (around 6 months) he would occasional get a rash wherever the food landed on his face or body. (milk, ice cream, Cheetos, pirate booty, peanut butter--but other milk products didn't do this to him?) When he was 15 months he got hives from a Burger King breakfast sandwich.

After he got a rash from peanut butterI, have taken him off of peanuts.

At his 3 year old check the doctor was concerned about his height and weight and I asked to get him tested for food allergies.

He went to get a blood test and came back allergic to almost everything tested. His IGE was 1644. They blood tested him again and took stool samples. His IGE a week later was 2744.

Next he was sent to an allergist for a scratch test. He came up highly allergic to cats ( I have not seen a reaction in him yet), slight olive trees, and slight mik allergy.

His allergist wants him to do a single blind test to see if he is indeed allergic to milk.

Can a slight milk allergy cause of the symptoms I listed, or could it be something more serious? Does an allergy to milk cause foul breath at night? He wakes up crying and his breath has a distinct bad odor. I couldn't find anything and was wondering if anyone else had experience.

SORRY for being so wordy. Just wanted to be thorough. So far all the doctors I have taken him to can't figure it out.

Poor kid! I think you should get these books and afterwards make an appointment with the author (he's a doctor):

Food allergies. Could be lactose intolerance. Get him investigated thoroughly .

Added:
I have done a little web search and found it could be lactose intolerance indeed.

Please get him tested for celiac disease both with blood work although that may be hard to figure out with his ige readings so high and genetic testing. I think most of his symptoms could be explained by an intolerance to gluten except for problems with breastfeeding.
Celiac disease is an intolerance to the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley and things made from them. If this is the problem then when you get him on a gluten free diet, hopefully some of his other problems will ease up.
Good luck
