Lactose Intolerant Infant With Inconsistent Stool Texture. How To Cure This?
My 22 month old daughter has had less than a handful of normal stools in her lifetime. Other than that they have been loose or all liquid and have a very foul smell. She can't drink milk so I have been giving her soy milk since she turned one. It's better than the whole milk but I would love for her to have a formed stool someday. Please help!

Hi,
The foul smell of the feces is an indicator of malabsorption.
I suggest you to give the child :milk with hidrolyse proteins instead of soy milk.
It is absorbed better from the gut.
If the child will continue the same symptoms than you should make a complete check up to the doctor.
