A member asked:
What milk is best to treat or help with my constipated 2 year old? ive tried 2%, and 1% and dont seem to work. can i try goats milk or lactaid milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Milk: It is unlikely any of these milks will treat his constipation. He should be drinking at least 2% milk. Increasing juices and fibre may help. If you have started potty training a break from this may help. A daily dose of laxaday or restorolax may help until he is consistently passing soft and normal diameter stools. All the best.
