My DD (10) had a course of antibiotics recently. Since finishing them 3 weeks ago she has suffered from diarrhoea almost every day. I was thinking about her food intake today (we do have a doctors appointment booked, but as a non emergency there's a 10 day wait) and realised that the symptoms are much worse after milk/ yogurt etc. I've consulted Dr Google and apparently lactose intolerance can be a side effect of antibiotics. I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this, and could give me some pointers: what should I try, and is it likely to improve?
I mentioned it as a possibility to DD and she was very upset- she's a huge fan of milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, so this is not a good outcome for her....
Thanks
