Gabe has been on whole milk since the ped gave his okay at 12 months. We switched over cold-turkey with no problems at all. Fast forward two months later....
Well, lately I've been noticing increasingly loose stools. He gets very gassy, more than normal, no seriously. When he passes gas, you'd think there was a full grown man in the room. He started having some really bad diarrhea, so I took him off dairy and put him on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples, toast). 36 hours later, his stools are normal and no more "man-gas".
Could this be lactose intolerance? He was formula-fed since about 1 month old, so I find it odd that it would pop up so randomly. Could it be a reaction to something else? I've also been giving him some soy crisps as snack. Other than that, it's all natural, home-cookin'!
I'd love any insight anyone can offer! Thank you!
