Milk allergy / lactose intolerance
- Thread starter Jox
- Start date
We think Maddie does - as in I have given up all dairy and her symptoms improved. She basically always had a stuffy nose, her tummy was very distended, she was always a little wheezy, runny eyes... oh and projectile vomited when I had a white chocolate Magnum (bad mummy). EVERYONE has commented on how skinny she looks now (her percentile has stayed the same - she's just not bloated). We've had far fewer explosive poos and she seems to be a much happier baby?!?!?
So we're been referred to a paediatrician to check her out, my GP says the intolerance can last from 2 weeks to 2 years, we just want to know if it is in fact true (I miss cake) and how to go about weaning her - and getting her back on it as she grows out of it (we hope)...
Hope that helps??

Does sound similar 
Been to the gp today and he's trying him on a different reflux medicine 1st, he's gonna see him again in 10 days. If things haven't improved i will insist they do tests for an allergy it intolerance x
I hope ur able to sort things for Maddie x

The GP said my girl had an intolerance to either cows milk or lactose. We tried lactose free formula and she seems fine on it so i can only assume it is lactose she was intolerant to. Her symptoms were crying more than usual, mucosy brown poo with blood in it and pooing small amounts a LOT (10-15 times per day, and through the night).

What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
People with lactose intolerance may feel uncomfortable 30 minutes to 2 hours after consuming milk and milk products. Symptoms range from mild to severe, based on the amount of lactose consumed and the amount a person can tolerate.
Common symptoms include
abdominal pain
abdominal bloating
gas
diarrhea
nausea
hope this helps.
