What Causes Loose Motions After Having Milk?

My 23-month old daughter vomited on Friday while returning from her daycare. From Saturday, she has been having loose motion immediately after having milk. We don t know for sure if it is only milk, because she didn t take solid food much. Yesterday night she took a little cerelac (9:00 PM) but didn t pass stool, but at night (10.30) after she took milk, she again passed stool (after 2 PM). This is the first time she has had loose motion and we are unable to figure out if she has developed lactose intolerance. She is active otherwise.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
AS from your history I understand that she is suffering from loose motions since one week.
Prolonged diarrhea destroys intestinal epithelium and causes temporary lactose intolerance.
Better switch on to Zerolac for 1-2 weeks.
For confirmation you ask for stool test for reducing sugars.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
