Question

My baby has passed blackish green feces, and the doctor suspects lactose intolerance. After a thorough examination, nothing serious was found. The doctor said it might be a protein allergy and recommended switching to hydrolyzed protein formula. I want to do a thorough examination to verify whether it is lactose intolerance or protein allergy. Could you tell me what aspects the detailed examination covers?

Answer

Based on your description, the child may be experiencing symptoms of dyspepsia. It is recommended to administer probiotics to the child orally and to have small, frequent meals in the coming days, ensuring the child drinks plenty of water. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the child’s abdomen warm and avoiding catching a cold.
