Lactose Intolerant?

[Ollie76]

Hi,

My DD is 4 months and was recently diagnosed with lactose intolerance (through a stool sample).  We have been treating her for silent reflux (but I'm not so sure that what it is now).  When I asked her pediatrician if it was the same as a milk/protein intolerance, he said yes.  I thought they were different? Feeling a little overwhelmed - any thoughts/help would be great!

Milk protien intollerence and lactose intollerence are different but they can be intollerent to both (DD#2 is)

some things like yougurts and mature cheese have full amounts of milk protein but less lactose

oh and my dietion said that MPI tends to effect the skin more and lactose the whole digestive system though i dont really know if thats right but because dd#2 was so small we were told to give very mature cheese for the fats and make do with the bad skkin but it was only in very small amounts

thank-you.  My LO has a little eczema starting too....

-just curious how you found out she had other intolerances...nuts, eggs etc....

Elimination and paying attention lol she has bad poo, screaming and face rash when i eat something she cant have, so i eliminate it from my diet then re try it a week or so later if we have the reaction then. then we know iykwim

Eggs and soy took us a while we had about 4 reactions on eggs before i gathered it was the problem (esp since gluten was always pressent too) and soy was 2-3 (Ironicly it was curry sauce from the chippy which confirmed us) so i cut both and tried them isolated and it caused a reaction

Nuts was day after i had peanut butter in the night she had a reaction but i was already egg, milk, soy free and knew there were no slips
