Food Allergy, Child Behaves Abnormally When Diary Products Taken. Problem?
I have a 3yo daughter I suspect she has food allergies, I have been able to relate her bad behavior to the consumption of dairy products. It is vey difficult to keep all dairy products away from her an maintain a balanced diet, while cooking for the family. however just any dairy product leads p to a total melt down, kicking , crying, disobeying, ending with "I want to be a good girl, Mommy. I am a sad, sad baby" direct quote. Am I crazy, my pediatrician does not see the connection, or even the problem!!

Hi
It seems that she is having trouble digesting the milk or milk products. Lactose intolerance can produce abdominal pain, loose motions and bloating. She may be investigated with abdominal USG to rule out other causes of abdominal pain. To rule out lactose intolerance she may take a trial of eliminating it from diet. Breath test can be taken too.
