Will Taking Lactaid Help Relieve Abdominal Pain?

hi. i had a fever of "unknown origin" when i delivered my son at 38wks...my temps with tylenol around the clock were about 101-102...i was also receiving iv fluids...as soon as i delivered the fever disappeared...my son has been fine since- he is 6 1/2 now...BUT he has always been off tthe charts for height and weight and barely eats, drinks a lot, pees a lot, and for the last couple months has been complaining of a vague abdominal pain...my question is do you think my fever during delivery could have thrown him into childhood diabetes? it may seem off the wall to you but i heard of it happening to someone else...i've had him tested last year (blood work and urine) it was all negative...we switched to lactaid recently to see if that made a difference...i don't know?

HI.
I read your history and understood the problem you and your son suffered from.
He is not diabetic , hence no question of fever transferring / causing diabetes in him.
Lactaid may relieve the pain if there is lactose intolerance and Lactaid does not contain Lactulose.
You can certainly ask the pediatrician , get the son examined , blood and particularly stool tests done.
I find this answer helpful
