What Causes Diarrhea And Abdominal Pain?
My 10 yr old son is extremely lactose intolerant; only rate 3% of the enzyme most have 7 - 9%. I cook all his foods and check all ingredients for milk; lactose, lactic acid lactylate, etc. I recently made dinner using McCormick meat tenderize (that I know see contains calcium silicate). We had it two days in a row.... he s been sick with diarrhea and extremem adominial pains for two days. It seems as if this ingrediate is acting like lactose. Can this be?

the ingredient of this tenderizer contain Bromelain which are composed of proteolytic enzymes , it's main side effect is diarrhoea and abdominal pain .
so it's very possible it might be the cause of these symptoms .
but if there is any fever, then an Infectious cause is most likely .
I hope your child get better soon
