My daughter developed milk intolerance 8mths ago. It was
after a heavy cold. She was sick every time she had milk. I was told by the
H.V before to slowly introduce milk back into her diet. Although she isn't
sick if she has a yogurt etc, she has a very upset tum every time. Am I right
in thinking this is still milk intolerance? She doesn't have an upset tum at
anytime other than when she has milk based products. Please could you advice me as to whether I should keep trying to introduce milk? I’m not sure if her diet is lacking without milk, even through her weight is average.


A From your description your daughter could still have intolerance to milk products. Have you tried Soya milk and Soya based yogurts? Since your child is over 6 months it would be safe to give Soya based products to her. You say that your daughter developed this intolerance eight months ago and I am wondering how it was diagnosed? Did you visit your GP and were you seen at the hospital by a specialist? If not it would be best to consult your GP so that the right decisions can be made about the correct nutrition for your daughter at this stage.
