With regard to the article1 by Drs. Maltz, Fish, and Holliday in the December, 1970, issue, it seems to me that a child who keeps having severe diarrhea on regular feedings and improves on a milk substitute diet is probably suffering from cow's milk allergy. The fact that the patient tolerated cow's milk at 13 months of age does not rule this out. I would also like to point out that all the clinical, laboratory, and x-ray findings described by the authors are those of Vitamin D deficiency rickets.
