Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking on HealthCareMagic. Formula milk like similar are cow milk based and hence hard to digest for a baby and could cause greenish stools whereas isomil is a hydrolysed formula and easy to digest. If your doctor assumes the cause of diarrhoea to be lactose intolerance or intolerance to milk, it would be better to go for isomil. It is safe and you need not worry about it, it is just not as tasty for the baby.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
