How do you know if your toddler is lactose intolerant?!


Question: The last two weeks he has thrown up his milk after meals. My husband thinks he is lactose intolerant while I think he is just puking because he has a slight runny nose and is just getting over an ear infection. He does not act sick and does not have a fever... he does complain of a stomach ache after vomiting. What do you think?

Hi,
I am a doctor...
Hope this will help..

Lactose intolerance, also called lactase deficiency, means you aren't able to fully digest milk sugar (lactose) in dairy products. It's not usually dangerous, but symptoms of lactose intolerance can be uncomfortable enough to steer you clear of the dairy aisles. Lactose intolerance can make dining a challenge, requiring some recipe substitutions or avoidance of some foods altogether.

The problem underlying lactose intolerance is a lack of lactase
