He is now 10! From day 1 his nappies were vile. We had him seen by a gastroenterologist age 2 & were told he had "toddler's diarrhea" after excluding celiac amongst other things. We went back when he was 5 as no improvement and were told the same. Now age 10 he still has loose bowels several times a day which I suspect he is now embarrassed about. Obviously I will be going back to the GP but wondered if anyone has experience of this. I do wonder if it could be lactose intolerance given that he's had it since birth when all he had was milk. A test done by the gp in the beginning suggested he might be. We cut out dairy for a while but it made little difference (he has always had A LOT of dairy). Then the gastroenterologist said he wasn't lactose intolerant. He suggested it might be fruit juice/squash but cutting this out didn't help either. I'm now stumped and a little worried. How accurate are lactose intolerance tests?
Thanks in advance....
