I posted a while back and said I believed my DD was suffering from LI after a nasty gastro bug. She was 5-6 nasty smelly, watery poohs every day and seemed to be in stomach pain when eating (she is 17 mths now). I found she could stomach cheese/yoghurts (i.e. processed milk) but cows milk as a drink seemed to be a problem.
Convinced the GP and got Lactose Free formula on prescription. Didn't cut out the 'processed' dairy but did cut out the drinks. She did improve - down to 1-2 poohs a day and fairly normal - no more stomach pains etc. After 6 wks on formula I gradually started to reintroduce cows milk to drink and she seemed OK. So I believed it had been temporary.
She has been back on cows milk about 2.5 wks now and in the last few days has started with the loose, watery/smelly poohs again. Doesn't seem to have any cramps/pains.
Do you think it could be the lactose intolerance recurring? She is also teething at the moment (eye teeth) so the nappies could be that too??
HELP please! I don't know what to do as the GP was so dismissive in the first place that it was a lactose intolerance!
