Do you mean she has fructose malapsortion? How have all these been diagnosed? Have you seen an allergist and dietician?

[jennyh]

saw dietician and consultant and they said keep fruit from her.Her runny poo,wind,crying and sleep have all improved.She slept in her cot all night for the first time for months two nights ago and again last night.Even her rock hard tummy has gone and she eats a good amount.Its like someone has swapped my child...We have to back for a breath test i think..

Does she definitely have an intolerance to milk and/or soy as well? I ask because often fructose malabsorption is the issue but people mistake it for a milk or lactose problem. Same goes for gluten. How old is she?

[jennyh]

shes been ill since birth.She needed 4 days in hospital at 11 weeks.Normal baby milk constipataed her and she vomited all the time,so did soya.once they gave her pepti-junior the improvement was huge.she slept and settled and could even lie on her back again..The problems started again when we tried to wean her.She has her second coeliac test in 3 weeks with rast test also-just hope they get enough blood this time.India is 15months now.

That's a tough one. I guess I'd see how the tests come back and then insist on sitting down with the allergist and dietician to come up with a plan...
