DD persistently sicking up. Is this a sign of lactose intolerance?

[Stephano]

My DD is just over 7 months old. She's on 3 meals a day (sometimes she misses breakfast though) and 3 bottles of formula a day. She seems to be sicking up a lot as has done for some time now. I was just wondering whether this is a sign of being lactose intolerant? Any thoughts or advice ?

I would have thought there would be other signs other than being sick. Could it be reflux?

My son had reflux was sick after every bf, ff and solids feed from 10 months. Gaviscon helped a bit but he was luckily never in any pain. He can still vomit on demand.

with my three dc (ds1 completely intolerant to cows milk, the other two have a less severe form but still intolerance iyswim) it was more to do with abdominal cramps, permanent runny noses, and [tmi alert] projectile fizzy poo.
There were times when they were sick as they treat all cows milk content as food-poisoning as it were, but this was not the most noticable symptom with my lot.
I also wondered about reflux, and it has many similarities to dairy intolerance and can also improve significantly with a change in milk. One for the GP, I think?
hope this lot helps you rather than frustrates, and if you really have a mum-hunch that the milk is the issue with your DD then do a bit of research and keep a food diary, perhaps try cutting it out for a few days (maybe a week?) but with suitable advice and substitutes. With my DS1 the improvement was immediate and quite drastic, he was older than your dd and we switched him to goats milk. The other two were df from birth [bf them for yonks, then weaned df]
keep posting there are lots of wise ladies around here

good point hoochie my lot don't actually have a prob with lactose, it is cmpi.

£ of mine (and myself) have dairy issues- for us its casein. I [presume thats CMPI?

Symptoms are projectile vomiting, slow weight gain (DS4 only started to gain when i went dairy free totally as bf), greenish nappies when tiny, stomach cramps- ah the ones I get are appalling- just like labour pains; diarrhoea.

Colic-like screeching that ceases when dairy removed from diet.

Symptoms vary in strength frm person to eprson as does amunt needed to trigger.

my dd vommed copiously from the start, though it never seemed to bother her much. Dropping her down to 2 milk feeds a day at 7 months seemed to help, and it tailed off alot by 9 months, stopped altogether by 10 or 11 months.

Not lactose intolerance I don't think (she still drinks milk and is fine), just what she seemed to do. She drank pretty fast which might have had something to do with it. Didn't make her unhappy and didn't affect her weight gain, especially once she went onto solids. Just very messy...

Thanks guys. CMPI sounds more likely. Could be that. It seems to have started really when she started on formula, I mix fed from week 2 but very little formula, mainly breast. It doesn't bother her really, more me when I have to change her clothes, and sometimes mine, 3 times a day.
I think it might be a stomach sphincter thing as it mainly happens when she changes position, ie lying down to sitting up. I gave her much less milk today and she didn't throw up as much though. I have also changed her onto follow on milk and what she throws up seems more cheesey and less milky now. She also throws up when I give her water so maybe it's a liquid thing rather than a milk thing.
I'll keep an eye on it though and a food diary seems like a good idea too. Thanks again.
