A member asked:
Is there a cure for a lactose intolerant child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best to accept it: The truly lactose intolerant child is either born without the enzyme needed to digest lactose, or looses it with age. It can be temporary after a bowel injury like prolonged diarrhea. That self heals over time. Humans also do not have enzymes to digest Cellulose (like termites) or fucose (in beans) & life goes on.Kids can take the enzyme as a supplement, or just avoid lactose & have a great life.
