Does Loose Green Stools In An Infant While On Nan Pro 1 Mean Lactose Intolerance?

My 4.5 month old baby starts passing loose green stools when formula fed with Nan pro 1. When switched to Isonomil (soya formula), his stools are normal yellow colour. Is this sign of lactose intolerance? He was doing fine with Nan 1 pro for 1.5 months.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Babies fed with lactose based formulas are more likely to have frequent motions than on lactose free formulas but it does not mean baby has lactose intolerance , if baby is having watery stools with presence of reducing substances in stool , chances of lactose intolerance are more . Colour other than presence of blood is not significant.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
