I had a thread a couple of weeks ago about the baby having horrendous nappy rash and green, frothy poo. Went to the GP and had a stool sample done, so it's come back with a confirmed lactose intolerance.
But the only advice was to keep to an exclusion diet (I'd given up dairy thinking it was CMPA) and a link to what lactose intolerance is.
My dilemma is, I am a mammal, so I produce lactose. I have got some coleif lactose drops and they do seem to be helping. I have also pumped a few times and then fed from that boob (to get rid of the thin lactose heavy fore milk, or at least, that's my theory!).
But if the baby's not actually CMPA, then the advice seems to be that I don't need to follow an exclusion diet, and can have dairy.
My GP isn't very good with this stuff, I went in initially saying about lactose intolerance and was dismissed (so I feel a bit vindicated). They also insisted that lactose allergy and dairy intolerance were the same thing.
Anyone been through anything similar?
