Genetics determines this pattern. The Japanese island of Hokkaido is known for many  very tall adults as a genetic trait on such a diet.

allergy test i took to nuts, fish, milk, soy, was negative. this means, there is no reason for the tongue to swell, and kill me? i have health anxiety

Accepted Answer

Allergy tests: The tests you had done were food allergens.  Although it is encouraging that they are negative, there are other things you could be allergic to, such as aeroallergens:  pollens, grasses, trees, weeds and even animals.  Any kind of a reaction to allergen could cause tongue swelling.  There are other causes of tongue swelling, but allergies & trauma are most common.  Not common to kill, though.

Elemental formula: There are multiple brand of formula available that are either hydrolyzed or if the allergy is true ige mediated then there are 2 formula products available that are pure Amino Acid formulas (neocate and elecare) without any of the milk or soy protiens.

Cows milk vs soy: Lactaid milk is still cows milk with the same protein, vitamins, and calcium as regular cows milk,  and is also lactose free.  Soy milk is derived from soy beans, so it is also lactose free.  It does not have the same protein content as cows milk.  They are both good if you suffer from lactose intolerance.

Elemental formulas: For those who become intolerant to bovine and soy protein, there are elemental formulas that contain predigested proteins that work. You can find one (alumentum, alumentum ready to feed, nutramagen, elecare).All are expensive  but after 4-6 weekss on one, the gut may heal enough to tolerate other foods. Work with your ped to find one that works for your kid.All are difficult.
