Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You have been feeding your child with soya based milk.
After changing that milk she is having diarrhea suggests she may be having lactase deficiency.
Or if the formula you are offering contains wheat base and that is responsible for diarrhea.Then it may be coeliac disease.
Better you consult pediatrician and confirm the diagnosis and get proper treatment.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
