Dangerous and misinformed advice

Rang to speak to GP about a few things I was concerned about with my son. Asked to be seen but was told they weren’t concerned and he didn’t need to be seen. I am not happy with this as I have rung a few times regarding the same thing and have been told I do not need my son seeing. Then I asked about being referred to the Dietician for my son as he has a dairy allergy (he is breastfed which means I have to be dairy free within my own diet.) she told me I was wrong and that I did not need to be dairy free. She said there was new evidence to say I didn’t need to be dairy free, but could not back up where this could be found. She made me feel really stupid and as if she wasn’t going to refer me to the dietician even after my health visitor has requested it. It’s very dangerous advice as there is a lot of research to back the dairy allergy theory up, and I have also proven this by ingesting something with dairy in it to see My sons reaction and he was in so much pain it was heartbreaking. Completely dangerous advice given with no evidence to back it up and I am disgusted. It made me really doubt myself in the beginning and made me feel very stupid. After speaking to my health visitor, she is appalled at the advice and has recommended I continue as I have been on my dairy free diet and will be ensuring herself that I am referred to a Dietician. I am really disappointed with the care I have received over the last few months to be honest.
