that rash looks very much like eczema or atopic dermatitis. Which is a very typical reaction for a dairy allergy.
I don't know how long you need to wait to see a difference w/ cleaning products. I've used all natural ones for quite a long time but didn't really see any changes in our kids. I feel better about using them so I continue doesn't hurt anything and it's better for the environment and cheaper on my wallet.

My son did react to heavy cream dairy products, ie cream cheese, whipped cream, butter.

Symptoms of dairy allergy can include:
Immune Reactions:
Primary Reactions:
End Reactions:
One symptom alone usually doesn't indicate a milk allergy. Typically someone will have several symptoms in varying degrees from two of the three lists. The most common allergic reactions to dairy are the 'primary reactions', AKA Lactose Intolerance. When most people think of milk allergies that's what they think of, but the primary reactions are by no means the whole of it. Most people who are lactose intolerant find that their energy and general health improves dramatically when they cut out all forms of dairy, not just the lactose. My MIL said she never even realized how much it was effecting her until she cut it out of her diet altogether. She has more energy, sleeps better, and where she had 3-4 colds a year she now has none.
With my DH, who is also a dx'd Aspie, we see a significant difference in his behavior insofar as crankiness, lethargia, etc. I always know if he's cheated on his diet (broke down and had pizza at work) because he gets very, very, cranky that day, and then sleeps the majority of the next day away. He also suffers from class 3 apnea, and his snoring will get a LOT louder, and he stops breathing for short periods at night (which freaks his cat out to no end... she'll sit on his chest and then smack him with a paw if he stops breathing, lol)

He definitely gets unusual and VERY painful rashes on his bottom. He used to have acid reflux badly as a baby and the child sweats like no 3 year old should sweat. And he has very soft stools. So he has at least 1 from all categories. I guess I will be calling his dr. tomorrow and telling him I would like to see an allergist. Thanks for the info.
