A member asked:
Is it okay to give my constipated 2yr old toddler lactaid whole milk. what are the benefits in doing so? will it help with his conspitipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Likely no effect at all. Lactaid is just milk with the lactose sugar neutralized. When a kid is lactose intolerant they often have loose stools rather than constipation.As a milk product it is similar in nutritional value to regular milk, just more expensive.
