Lactose Intolerance
What should I look for?
One of the main problems with a food intolerance is the
inability for medical professionals to identify it without carrying out extensive exclusion diets.
It's not always a rash that is the first sign of a dairy allergy or intolerance, in fact it's usually the malabsorption
of food, that is the child not being able to digest what they eat, for example
bloated stomach, wind, diarrhoea, vomiting, etc. These are often the first visible signs of a
child with an intolerance to dairy products. The first thing you will need to do is visit your doctor, hopefully they
will be able to identify the problem as an intolerance to a food type. Do not try and cut out foods in young
children without your doctor knowing what you are doing. If the child is dairy intolerant then cut out all dairy products from
their diet to see if the symptoms go away. This means no cow's milk, yoghurt, cheese,
milk shakes, ice cream, etc. It is also important to bare in mind that cereals
can contain dairy products, especially the chocolate flavoured types and muesli,
they sometimes contain semi-skimmed milk powder; biscuits can contain whey
powder which is a product of cow's milk, baby rice contains milk products, the
list goes on. What do you do, simply read the contents and if they contains
anything that says milk or whey or cheese don't buy these products or give them to the child who might be lactose
intolerant, the good news is some children will
develop a tolerance to some milk products, or a small amount of lactose, as they get older.
OK so what should I say to my doctor or
health care professional?
Firstly ask to be prescribed a soya based formula for your baby, e.g.
Wysoy or Infasoy. Yes, prescribed, you won't have to pay for the tins
of formula if your child is lactose intolerant (in the UK), and also ask for
a calcium supplement especially if you have a daughter with lactose intolerance, unless
they eat fish, a large amount of calcium comes from milk and without this in her
diet osteoporosis could develop in later years. Ask for Calcium Sandoz,
it worked for my daughter, however this product does contain some lactose so be careful.
If your child has a more extreme allergy to dairy products try any of
the following Pregestimil, Prosobee or Nutramigen produced by
Mead Johnson Nutritionals or Isomil produced by Abbott Laboratories
Ltd. They are for gluten, lactose and sucrose free diets and are very expensive
so get your GP or consultant to prescribe them. Another non dairy formula is Neocate.
They have a site at Neocate baby formula
They also have plenty of information and some research material worth looking at.
If, however, you don't want to try soya based formula milk then why not try Nanny goat milk Infant Nutrition. This product is available
from Vitacare Ltd. Click here for phone number. The
Formula cost £7.95 for a 400gm tin and is available from a number of health
food shops or if you have a problem direct from the company. The Department of
Health recommends that babies up to one year of age be kept on formula milk and
not put onto goat's milk at 6 months as is common with cow's milk
There are various digestive enzymes available for children, and adults who
become Lactose Intolerant. One UK supplier is Myplan
Ltd.. Old Colwall, Nr. Malvern Worcs., WR13 6HF Tel: 016845 40441 (between 9am and 1pm) or Fax
016845 40811.They produce a tablets and a liquid enzyme called Milkaid which can be taken before
eating a meal containing milk products and reduces the
amount of lactose to a more digestible level. Milkaid is available from Myplan
directly they cost £12.99 for 120 tablets or £9.99 for 6.5 ml bottles. The tablets' ingredients are
Lactase 3000ALU, Raspberry flavour, Ctric acid, Magnasweet 100, Supernet 228-Glydant, Magnesium Stearate.

So where can I get non-dairy product
foods?
It is important to bear in mind that more food is available without dairy
products than with. However, margarine may contain some dairy products. Look
for products that are without any milk content, I have found that some of the
Kosher (Jewish dietary products) are totally milk free, they are marked Parve
or Parv and are available in a number supermarkets. Products include non-dairy
cream, ice cream and non-dairy spreads which are all great substitutes for dairy
products. If however you do have a problem obtaining Kosher dairy free products
listed below are the main companies.
Click Here.
The supermarket is always a good
starting point and a chat with the produce manager with your list of products
will sometimes produce excellent results. It's also worth talking to the staff
at Customer Services as most of the main supermarket chains will supply you
with a list of own brand products that are dairy free (this list can be
tailored to your specific needs for example no dairy and no nuts, or no gluten
and no nuts etc..) I found that Tesco, Sainsbury, Waitrose, and ASDA were very
good with this service. Listed below are some supermarket sites which are worth
visiting for more nutritional information and also the addresses for the information they provide
on their own products, i.e. dairy-free, gluten-free, etc.
