Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain , Tiredness And Lactose Intolerance

I have a good friend that has a toe nail and middle finger nail that was orange. The toe nail came off. He also has stomach pain, a slight allergy to dairy products and is always very tired. He s going to five specialists with still no answers. Can you lead me in the right direction?

Hi there. If a person has allergiy to dairy products is most likely to have loose motions following the same which on the long run causes vitamin deficiencies which can explain the constant tiredness.
The person will have to avoid dairy products at least till symptoms subside and if they want can replace with Soy milk or coconut milk.
Also for the vitamin deficiencies an oral multivitamin supplement twice a day with meals should help. If oral supplements do not help then intramuscular or intravenous supplements may do the trick.
The orange nail may also be due to vitamin deficiencies and if it recurs its better to consult a dermatologist.
Hope this helps.
