Does Milk Product Cause Bowel Problems In Children?
My son is 12 months old--we just introduced cow s milk (though he s been eating cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese for several months) to replace formula, and his stools became loose (not runny) and pale yellow. He has also seemed irritable, and last night woke up with very bad gas pains. Should I assume this indicates lactose intolerance?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Some children have allergy to cow’s milk. You may use buffalo milk instead. Also, at twelfth month milk is not the exclusive diet but a part of diet majority of which at this age would be cereals, vegetables, etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
