Can Lactose Intolerance Be Treated? What Is An Appropriate Diet For This?
Hello! I'm from Romania and i cannot find a answer to my problem. Can you help me?Mi child has a lactose intolerance issue found almost 2 months ago. Since then he is on a diet with lactose free milk, but when he is trying to eat bread or other foods containing lactose the simptoms get back. We are worried that this problem might get a severe form, and don't know what tot do to cure him. We know also that he lacks for vitamin D and Calcium due to the fact that for the past year he has been drinking cow milk

The best appropriate only treatment is to avoid lactose containing food lifelong.u can use alternative formula which is lactose free...almost every snack contain milk ,so u should carefully check before giving him. Give calcium and vitamin D as separate supplements daily till he grows up. They are available as syrup-calcinol /ossopan etc as well as tablets...good luck.
