Dairy is definitely supposed to be irritating during recovery from a stomach bug from what I heard. Sometimes these bugs take a while to clear too. Hope she is on the mend soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-amp-diarrhea#post-1671611 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:43:20 +0000 BananaPancakes 1671611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, poor M! And we gave up dairy during that whole parasite debacle when we still thought it was a virus. His ped said dairy can be really rough on kids' systems following a bug, so we tried it out. Of course it didn't work for us since it wasn't a virus, but I did a lot of reading in it and it seems it is very common to have dairy issues for a couple of weeks afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-amp-diarrhea#post-1671607 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:39:30 +0000 sandy 1671607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she normally consume dairy with no problem? Like does she drink milk with meals regularly with no issue? If so I would say it's probably just some stomach bug. But if she doesn't drink milk regularly it may be that she has developed some diary intolerance. </p> <p>I can't drink milk or eat soft serve or it's the most awful stomach cramps/diarrhea but I can eat cheese (all kinds and in large quantities except on a completely empty stomach) and I can eat small amounts of ice cream after a meal and small amounts of yogurt with other food. I can drink Lactaid milk with no issue. </p> <p>I would wait until her diarrhea is gone for a full day or two. Then reintroduce dairy in her diet but maybe not straight milk and see how she does and go from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-amp-diarrhea#post-1671594 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:30:32 +0000 loveisstrange 1671594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dairy has always made vomiting and diarrhea worse for us. I don't think it has anything to do with lactose intolerance, personally. Our ped always told us to stop when C got sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-amp-diarrhea#post-1671588 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:27:17 +0000 regberadaisy 1671588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old has had diarrhea since Friday. At first I thought stomach bug and hoped it was just a 24hr bug.<br /> Thursday night she had no appetite and barely ate her dinner. Which was her favorite - pasta!<br /> Friday she woke up very warm but no temp so we sent her to daycare. By 10am we got the call and was asked to come get her because her fever was at 101.2. By the end of the day the fever was gone but diarrhea started. Barely ate anything Friday night again.<br /> Saturday no fever but still diarrhea in the morning /early afternoon. Literally within 30 minutes of anything entering her stomach. Which wasn't much. Just a few crackers. Saturday late afternoon no more diarrhea. She finally ate well for dinner and no diarrhea after dinner either!<br /> This morning woke up more like her usual self and actually asked for breakfast! Ate well. No diarrhea all morning. Come afternoon diarrhea was back. </p> <p>The biggest change in my mind is that Saturday after her morning cup I have her no dairy after reading that dairy makes diarrhea worse. That's when the diarrhea stopped. But this afternoon I shared a small bowl of ice cream with her. Within an hour that's when diarrhea started again. </p> <p>My question is does the introduction of dairy really affect diarrhea that much? Or can she be lactose intolerant?<br /> As a baby she was MSPI and I was on a loose elimination diet. Mainly major dairy and soy. She outgrew it at 1. Can she grow back into it??? </p> <p>Definitely plan in no diary all day tomorrow and see what happens. Here's hoping she has no diarrhea tomorrow otherwise I'll have to take a day off to stay home with her Tuesday. </p>
