Does this sound like a milk intolerance?

AFC921 · May 2010

When DD woke up this morning I gave her a sippy of milk. As soon as she finished it she pooped. That is pretty typical of her as she is pretty much clockwork w/ her morning poop. However, I gave her grilled cheese for lunch. Not 5 minutes after she finished it she took another huge stinky poop. And now, she just ate dinner and was fine. Then I gave her her usual nighttime sippy of milk. She just finished it and again, within 5 minutes she pooped again. I am going to monitor it and keep track the next couple of days of her milk to poop ratio but does this sound like a milk intolerance to you? TIA

Not really... to me it sounds like she's pretty regular today. Was it excessively runny? Did she seem uncomfortable? Our boys almost always poop after being fed.

When I think of a milk intolerance I think of pain. DS does fine with cheese but I started giving him whole milk both mixed with his formula and in a cup about a week ago. It took a few days but eventually he started screaming and twisting in pain like he did at 2 months when he had gas pains. DH is lactose intolerant so it's possible that DS is also. I'm going to try 2% and if he has problems with that too then I'm going to ask the doctor what he recommends. I was so looking forward to weaning him off the formula... Tongue Tied

It doesn't to me. DD has a milk protein intolerance and she gets a rash on her trunk and ends up in an extreme amount of pain while trying to poop. Like doubled over and screaming type of pain - it is horrible. I'd definitely keep an eye on it, but doesn't sound too bad as long as it's not runny or painful. Good luck!
