☆ Parenting Q & A "Lactose Intolerance" ☆

Q: I have been told that my child may have lactose intolerance.

A: Lactose intolerance is a disease in which the enzyme that breaks down the lactose in breast milk, formula, and other dairy products is not secreted sufficiently, resulting in the inability to digest and absorb lactose and causing diarrhea. Treatment options include changing the diet to one that does not contain dairy products or switching to a lactose-free formula and monitoring the progress. If symptoms such as poor weight gain, diarrhea, or lack of energy persist, seek medical attention as soon as possible because other illnesses or dehydration may be present.
