Children and milk are as inseparable as night and day.
Fortified milk remains one of the easiest ways that kids get their much-needed nutrients to grow strong and healthy.
So, what happens when your child and milk don’t get along? To the point where they get gassy, constipated and downright sick just from drinking the tiniest bit.
Keep reading as we delve in further.
Is Your Child Unhappy After Drinking Milk? You’re Not Alone
As strange as it may sound, many children can experience tummy troubles after drinking milk.
This is known as lactose intolerance.
Lactose intolerance is rare in children younger than 5 years old.
Those with this condition are deficient in a component in milk called lactase which is responsible for digesting the main protein in milk; lactose. Without this enzyme, lactose can wreak havoc on your child’s gastrointestinal health¹.
Lactose intolerance can be genetic or caused by injury or intestinal infection.
Symptoms generally manifest as gassiness, constipation, stomach ache, cramps, bloating, nausea, diarrhoea, and general fussiness after drinking milk. 1 out of 4 kids have at least one of these indigestion symptoms².
If your child has lactose intolerance, it can be difficult to find the right alternative.
