Living Milk Free . . .

For the week we get to experience what it's like to have a lactose intolerant child. Googie got some virus in her intestines that has reacted poorly with her body. She's had diareah for the past 2 weeks. No other symptoms, and not involuntary either. Just constant loose stools. So I took her into the doctor and they expect that this virus has temporarily made her lactose intolerant. So for the next week she can't have any milk or milk products, and if that remedies the situation, at the end of the week she can go back to her usual diet of cheese, yogurt, milk, and the occasional slice of bread. If it doesn't help then we have to try other things, and wonder if she has developed an allergy or intollerance of some other sort. Fun, Fun, Fun.

The good news is she doesn't seem to mind soy milk.
