Could Eczema be related to Lactose intolerance?
When my daughter was 2 weeks old she was diagnosed as being lactose intolerant. She had grown out of it by the time she was 5 months old.she wasnt on solids until she was 8 months. she is now 15 months and is eating most foods inc dairy,but she has developed what looks like Eczema. HV says its just dry skin and will go but I'm not too sure. It dose'nt seem to bother her but I noticed it seemed to be redder after she had eaten some chocolate biscuit.
Does anyone know if Eczema could be related to a lactose intolerance?

Thanks for replying.
how is your little girl now?
i assume she is now on LF formula now. have her symptoms settled down ?
Amber has Soya milk and is very settled on it. I'm not completely convinced that she's lactose intollerant (mainly since reading others experiences on this site) as am trying to wean her and have so far tried baby rice (dairy free) sweet potato and banana and she's reacted to it all. Am getting zero support from hv so have booked docs appointment but its not until sept 5th! I think the doctors diagnosed lactose intollerance as they were stumped and when soya relieved her symtoms, they just made an assumption. Hope to chat some more soon take care x
I didnt wean my daughter,'til she was 8 months. partly because I was worried and she also didnt show any signs of being ready. the first food i gave her was parsnip and she was fine.what reaction did Amber have? My daughter was due for a review at 6 months but by then I had switched her back to sma gold but they never sent for her and as she was fine I didnt go back to Dr. I only switched her back because she became constipated. No test were ever done.I also used special bottles to feed her.they helped with the pain she was getting.Hope you can get to the bottom of it soon x
