Is she just starting to drink milk? I don't know much about lactose intolerance but look look into Milk Protein Induced Entercolitis Syndrome (MPIES), just in case too...

Good luck!

Milk has a lot of toxins in it.

It starts out being utra contaminated at these huge feed lots. So they dont have to be so clean, they just pasturize the milk. That doesnt remove the bacteria, it just kills it. Bacteria is a living, eating organism- so when killed, it looses its ability to 'hold its bowel' and releases its own body waste intot he milk. This is toxic to our body and our liver has to work hard to remove it all.

Certainly switch brands, try unpasturized from a local small farmer who is clean, or stop milk for a while and just use yogurts. Start probiotics like lactobaccilus and acidophilus.

Taking prescription meds can alter her gut flora -has she been on any meds in the past 6 months?

Yeah I would skip the milk and just bypass if altogether. It's not needed at all.
My son can do most any dairy but for ice cream and milk. Milk that is also cooked in recipes doesn't seem to bug him either. So it can depend on the child and the dairy product.

yes lactose intolerance can cause that, try a Lactaid milk (or the generic) and it should solve your problems.

are you giving her full-fat milk? my kids just didn't like full-fat milk. once we made the switch to 2% they were fine. we eventually just switched to skim.

Cow's milk can be very hard to digest. Yes, there is an extremely good chance that she's lactose intolerant. The solution is simple and obvious, stop giving her milk.

For beverage give her water, it's the best thing for her.

well it seeems like you have figured it out. it may not be lactose intolerant it may be she is allergic to milk protein. either way loooks like milk is a no go for her. try coconut milk or rice milk ( not soy milk!) coconut milk is delicious! so is the yogurt and ice cream. shell never miss milk!

answers from Tampa on

Most humans past a certain age have varying levels of lactose intolerance. Mammals are not meant to drink milk in large amounts (if at all) after the breastfeeding stage is over. If breastfeeding was never implemented, the reaction kicks in much earlier. Drinking a different species breastmilk isn't usually beneficial. If you are concerned about calcium, good foods that contain calcium.
