Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear.
its totally your choice whether you wana choose isomilk or not.Basically it is a soy based formula that is naturally lactose free and when babies are having problems in digesting lactose sugar,its given to them.
During gastroenteritis i would recomend to decrease the amount of milk you usually give to your child instead give him soft diet like rice pudding, mashed khichri(rice +lentil boiled with minimum salt and oil) with home made yogurt.Also give him banana and lots of low osmolar ORS.
I would recommend not to change the formula milk based on just one episode of diarrhea.
You should focus more on hygiene when you are giving top feed like you should boil the feeder in water for about 10 mins before giving your child milk.
I hope it will help.
Stay blessed :-)
