My daughter has pasty poos and says he belly hurts she has had this problem since she was 2 she is now 5 my doctor just gives her lactose all the time?

Odd treatment: If your kid has soft or loose stools and abdominal pain, she could be lactose intolerant which would improve if you stopped giving her any lactose containing foods (bovine milk,ice cream,etc.) Lactulose is something different.It is actually an osmotic agent that helps kids with poor stooling habits pass softer stools and not be constipated.It is often used for months at a time.
