DS is now 11 months old and has had problems with diarrhoea since he got a nasty gastro anteritis when he was 6 months old. Went to GP and HV about this but nothing really came out of it, they said it would pass. Also, he has had difficulty with eating solids, was a very 'fussy' eater, the nursery was constently telling me how fussy he is with his food. He was eating very small portions and often refused to eat alltogether.
He had another gastro last week, and a very nice nutritionist suggested I'd put him on Soy milk for a few weeks to see if it would help his gut return to normal. I AM AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENCE IT HAS MADE. Almost overnight (well, 3 days) he started having nice solid poos (tmi), the right colour if you know what i mean, he started eating with real appetite, asking for more food and openning his mouth very wide! He never ever did this before...
Anyway, I went to my GP who refered me to a pedeatrician to check if he is alergic to anything in his diet (milk) or if he is lactose intolerent.
I know it's not uncommon, so please if anyone have kids with this problem could you please tell me if this temporary 'diagnostic' looks like lactolerence to you? How do you deal with it in the normal diet? Will it be OK to move on to normal (adult) soya milk once DS turns one (he is now on SMA Wysoy)?
Thanks for all your help!
