In the past, we'd dealt with tummy troubles for our eldest. Now it's my middle child's turn.
E has been having tummy issues for months, so after discovered the pattern of right after every meal, we cut everything out and went vegan and gluten free for a few weeks. We slowly added everything back, and found the culprit: dairy.
So we invested in the lactose pills for her to take at meal times, and started giving her pro-biotic pills daily. As long as she takes her meds, she's fine. For the most part, the school has been accommodating to her, giving her dairy free options. But in the case of snacks from classmates, she's often needing reminders to take a pill before she eats it - even dairy in baked goods upset her tummy.
I've been researching natural ways to help her deal with it, even been given some seemingly contradictory advice. But the consensus is to just ELIMINATE all dairy for 3 to 6 months, then introduce it.
That means soy/almond milk alternatives, which can be pretty pricy. She was mostly upset about not being able to have sour cream on her tacos… her favorite part.
Any other Lactose Free families out there with suggestions for me?
