1 year old started on milk

[NancyLKF]

Hey. Maggie is now one and while she started eating yogurt and cheese a couple of months ago without problem, she just started milk last week. The day after she started drinking milk (about 2 oz at night and 2 oz in am with her vitamins, zantac and salt) she started having these HUGE, wet, horribly stinky (the whole house smells) poops. the dietician doesn't think its an enzyme thing or a lactose thing but she suggested I try both. So I put her on lactose free milk for a couple of days and it turned the one big stinky poop into several slightly large stinky poops. then I tried adding an enzyme (with regular whole milk) and still a few days later she's having huge (open the diaper and say OMG) stinky, wet poops. I figured my best bet would be turning this over to all of you because I know that together you are all smarter than one dietician.
any thoughts?

Thanks.

I would say to go back to regular milk b/c the cheese & yogurt were fine. How many enzymes are you giving with the milk? It's something that will make you absolutely nuts. We are always second guessing ourselves on how many enzymes with how much food. Do you know how many enzymes she can have per day? What's her diet like? My daughter can have 11 pills/day and we are constantly breaking up food into smaller groups so that she isn't having too much fat with each meal. If she has too much fat with not enough enzymes, she'll just poop the extra fat out which causes the horrible smell, grease, etc. What kind of enzymes is she on? Each brand has a different range. My daughter is taking Creon 12's which each pill is good for about 5-6 grams of fat. It's helpful to know the range and then you can judge for yourself. It takes a while to figure it out in the beginning, it's a lot of changing this and a little bit of that... You could add a probiotic/acidophillus to her daily routine to just give her a little extra bump in the regularity department. It definately doesn't hurt. I'm not sure what area you are in, but there is a great one @ Publix Supermarket if you have a Publix near you. Have you thought about an acid build-up in her belly? My DD is on prevacid to prevent that. If there's too much acid, the absorbing process is inhibited and the result may be the bad stools.

You may want to think about a possible whey allergy it is the other protein in milk which is in lactaid. My son is allergic to whey. the reason cheese and yogurt would be ok is it has went through processes in which it has killed out some of the whey. heat kills whey, but not lactose. It is just a thought in that case try others milks unfortunately the only other conventional option is soy not horrible but not great... also goats milk if tolerated would be the best recommended solution

Thanks. She is on Ultrase. She can take up to 24. So she is taking 4 of them 5 times a day... so with the milk I added one more so she's on about 22 a day. I never thought about spliting up her fats 'cause there's never been a problem before. I just feed her and feed her... up to probably 11 grams of fat+ per meal. This is the first time this has happened since the beginning. When you say probiotic do you mean as in adding them to her food or eating food that has probiotics?
