A Fresh September

Well, September so far seems to look a little better. We think, at least for the moment, that using Lactose Free milk has helped. She has also had lamb which has known to be beneficial (having lamb again tonight in fact).

Could it be as simply as a severe lactose intolerance? Here's what we are using:

Only one trip to the loo for each day of the 5th and 6th of Sep! wow. The last time that happened was 8 weeks ago. One trip so far today as well (the 7th) but this was early this morning so wouldn't be surprised if that changes before the day is out. Certainly an improvement on the last few weeks.

Here is a link to a BBC page that talks about Lactose:

The site states that:

"Lactose intolerance can be tested for more thoroughly using a lactose tolerance test, a hydrogen breath test and a stool acidity test."

That's interesting and worth finding more about. We were not sure as the last consultant that mum specifically asked regarding a Lactose test told her there were no tests at all for Lactose intolerance?! Another helpful answer to add to the other helpful answers from the medical profession.
Anyway, here's the start of the month where she started using the Lactose Free milk on the evening of the 4th day.. looking promising but not getting our hopes up yet. It's a beginning!
