could this be a milk intolerance??

[chlochlo]

never really given milk as a drink to ds who's 23 months only in cereal.this morning he wanted a drink like his big sister and for the rest of the day he has had really runny pooh that has burnt his little bottom do you think it could be related or just a coincidence????

Could be, although could also be a coincidence. happens to all the milk intols in this family. Did ti stop immediately after the milk was stopped? If so, worth seeing GP, or trying again in a week (sometimes can be a very temporary thing)

The only way you will know will be to try it again next week and see if the same thing happens, but I would have thought a milk intolerance would have showed itself up before now if he is having milk on his cereal.

poppies sometimes an intolerance needs a certain amount to trigger.... ds3 could have a bit on cereal but a drink would cause real suffering. I an have skimmed milk in tea (I have casein intol and its reduced in skimmed) but nothing more, and only a cup a day.

ah obviously different for different people then. DS1 was dairy intolerant and only a small amount would cause him problems.

thanks for all the replies ds was on nutremigen baby formula as milk triggered his asthma and exema went back on to cows milk but never to drink he has got various allergy's but this wasn't the same. he is at hospital on 27th to get resultsof some rast test will it show up an intolerence?
