The parents of 1 year old Matthias came to KFW Clinic seeking
help for their son's problem of waking up every 2 hours since they came
to town a few months ago. Both parents have to work in the morning and
they were exhausted having to look after him through the night. Physical
examination of the child found him to be perfectly normal and indeed
extraordinarily healthy. There was no indication of any potential allergy
problems. However, since food allergies can still be a potential culprit,
the pediatrician went ahead and recommended food allergy testing to
be done.
Allergies: The allergy results revealed
that the boy was highly allergic to dairy products.

dairy products from his diet, the child slept through the night in less
than a week. A few weeks later when the child was accidentally exposed
