Thanks for putting up your query at HealthCareMagic. I understand the cause of your concern but you have not mentioned the age of the child and that would have been important. The dietary changes for lactose intolerance should initially include the exclusion of those foods rich in lactose. If the symptoms resolve then small amounts of lactose containing foods may be reintroduced, and symptoms monitored. Most people will be able to determine their tolerance level for lactose. Very rarely people may be so sensitive that they will need to exclude foods with lower levels of lactose including biscuits, cakes and other processed foods. It is important to find a suitable replacement if important foods are excluded from the diet. The lactose content of dairy foods varies widely, as do the serving sizes consumed. Breast feeding need not be stopped unless the baby has severe problems with it. Being lactose intolerant is not the same as having milk allergy, which is a more serious problem affecting a much smaller portion of the population. Had I known the age of the child, I could have commented better but the following food can be given if age appropriate: * Spinach * Canned salmon or sardines with bones * Calcium-fortified orange juice * Raw broccoli * Canned white tuna * Calcium-fortified soy milk * Dark green leafy vegetables * Almonds A guide to a healthy lactose free/low lactose eating plan Breakfast: A bowl of high fibre cereal such as weetbix or porridge with fresh fruit and soy or low lactose milk (if tolerated ) and/or wholemeal or grain toast with milk free margarine e.g. Sundew and honey or vegemite. Tea or coffee with soy or low lactose milk. Lunch: Sandwiches made with wholemeal bread with lean beef, tinned fish such as salmon (include the bones for calcium) and salad. Milk free margarine if necessary. Tinned or fresh fruit. Water, tea, diluted juice or cappuccino made with soy milk. Main Meal: Water with lemon juice. Chicken and vegetable stir fry served with steamed rice. Fruit and Fruccio dairy free ice cream, or custard made on soy or low lactose milk. Snacks: Fresh fruit, crackers or microwaved pappadums with salsa, popcorn. Toasted fruit loaf with milk free margarine and. Water, juice, tea, coffee or hot chocolate made from cocoa and soy milk. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
