Question 3

what could cause white specks in stool? they're very small, almost like seeds or bits of feta cheese. rest of stool is brown.

Accepted Answer

Probably not feta: Feta cheese would not look the same coming out, but sesame and other small seeds do look almost identical in your stool.  Otherwise unless you are sick in some way , having unintentional weight loss, blood in stool, then this is unlikely to be significant and almost certainly something you ate.

Question 4

what is the most healthy cheese?

Several good choices: Many cheeses are naturally low in fat, such as part-skim mozzarella or goat cheese. Many others can be purchased in low-fat versions. I think most cheeses are reasonably healthy, but the key is to limit the amount because they are generally high in saturated fat, salt, and calories.

Question 6

what are symptoms of being allergic to cheese?

Accepted Answer

Cow's milk allergy: As with all traditional "IgE-mediated" food allergy, they include mild itching to full blown anaphylactic shock. If allergic, straight cow's milk, Lactaid, ice cream, yogurt and cheese all provoke a reaction. Sometimes, however, cow's milk allergic patients can tolerate extensively heated cow's milk (casein) contained in baked goods, cakes, cookies, brownies; check w allergist first, though.

Question 7

Question 8

when can i feed my baby cheese?

Accepted Answer

Smile..er Cheese :-): Assuming no allergies have been plaguing your child, table foods are usually started at 8 to 9 months of age. While baby foods are introduced at about  6 month of age, real honest to goodness table foods are delayed until we know the child is able to chew and swallow well. Cheese is good for kids. Small amounts are started then increased as the child is able to tolerate more volume.

Question 9

when can you give an infant cheese?

Accepted Answer

Cheese: Cheese can be introduced between ages 8-10 months.  Make sure pieces are smaller than your baby's finger (also size of baby's trachea) to decrease choking risk.  Careful also with melted cheese as it may also be a choking hazard.  Consider also adding yoghurt at this age. However wait until 1 year of to add whole milk as a replacement for breastmilk or formula.
