My kids have dairy allergies, more specifically allergies to whey. According to some of the articles I have read whey allergies can show up as Asthma in later life. So all of those kids with dairy allergies who "grow out of it" don't actually grow out of it, it turns into asthma. I know at least 3 kids with dairy allergies who ended up developing asthma as soon as the DR told them to go ahead and eat dairy. My husband has severe asthma and has given up dairy and it has helped him tremendously. We went on vacation and he ate dairy for 2 weeks and he had to start taking his inhaler (which had expired he hadn't used it in so long) again.

I am sure this is only one of many things contributing to it. I also think misdiagnosis is a big one as well and DR's wanting to give puffers for everything.
