Re: ? regarding switching from ensure plus to whole milk up date

[Guest guest]

Well Noah's pooops seemed to get better throught out last week and

then on Thursday we went to his preschool eval and He had some milk

and then some apple juice while we were there. Shortly after he had

the juice he had a messy diaper and this continued all day. into

friday. So i decided to try lactose free milk. I talked to his

dietition on Sat and she says to keep him on the lastcose free milk

and that she thinks it may be a bug and that she doesn't want to

change his enzymes yet. I am so stressed about this and hope we find

the answers soon. He has been on the lastoce free milk since friday

afternoon and his poops are still not back to normal. I was finally

starting to feel like i had a handle on all this. He has been

healthy and his digestion has been great. Well i just had to vent i

am so stressed over this.
