do you give him soya or rice milk etc? Also make sure he gets enough vitamin d

:)

Thanks for the web links, ive had a quick look but will look again properly.

You said you was lactose intolerant as a child, can I ask how old was you when you out grew it??

Thanks

I never properly grew out of it, but the symptoms did get less. I think I was about 10-12 when I started drinking milk again more often. I still didn't drink it very much, because if I had too much at once, i'd get a sore stomach, or ezcema.

This continued even until I was 15, but at that age I stopped drinking milk for animal rights reasons. The symptoms never completely went away, but they were not as bas as they were when I was 2-8 years old.

Hope this helps. Soya milk is definitely a good alternative though, and it's quite tasty.
