Suggest Diet Plan For A Child With Lactose Intolerance
Hello Dr. I m writing because I heard that my 2 yr old grandson is Lactose tolerant, and also he is glucose tolerant. I guess that is what you call it. Anyway I don t think the milk is hard to work around. But the Glucose is different. What can you fix this little guy to eat ? In moderation fruits, but what else? Thanks, Lorraine

lactose intolerance is quiet common than glucose and I think it was misspelt to you; most of it is secondary to GE infections and self limiting and in a few days would do better after abstinence from lactose formula. glucose-galactose malabsorption manifests in the first few weeks of life with life threatening diarrhea and dehydration, totally intolerant o mothers milk as well any milk formula and sometimes tolerant to fructose based formula.
