How Do I Get My Child Tested For A Lactose Intolerance? |
Is There A Cause For Lactose Intolerance?Lactose intolerance is a result of a lack of lactase in the body. Lactase is the enzyme which is required to breakdown the milk sugar, lactose, into galactose and glucose which are then utilized in the body for energy. There is no such cause of lactose intolerance and whilst some children may experience lactose intolerance for life, others may grow out of it. |
What’s The Difference Between An Intolerance And An Allergy?An allergy stimulates an IgE mediated immune response and is usually activated within 30 minutes to 2 hours of exposure to the allergen. Allergic responses can vary from mild to severe (e.g. anaphylaxis) and often require a fast intervention such as antihistamine or norepinephrine. An intolerance does not involve the immune system and the effects are often milder. Additionally, symptoms of an intolerance may take longer to present themselves. |
Does A Lactose Intolerance Mean My Child Must Avoid Dairy Entirely?
Milkaid Junior Tablets – a strawberry flavored chewable tablet, are a great way to ensure that your child can still enjoy their favorite lactose containing foods. Milkaid Junior provides the enzyme lactase to help breakdown the milk sugar lactose and therefore limit symptoms of lactose intolerance.

How Should I Approach My Child’s Lactose Intolerance With Other Adults?Leaving your child with another adult can be scary but it’s important to remember that a lactose intolerance is not harmful. It’s ed to mention to the adult in charge that your child doesn’t tolerate dairy well although avoid scaremongering and ensure to reassure them if the child consumes too much dairy by mistake it’s not dangerous. You can also send the child with Milkaid Junior Tablets to consume before having any dairy food or beverages so everyone involved feels reassured. |
How Should I Approach A Lactose Intolerance With My Child?Of course, you should let your child know that dairy products don’t agree with them but remind them that it’s not dangerous and that they can tolerate a small amount. Highlight that they can always rely on Milkaid Junior Tablets to support them when they need. Do be aware of singling the child out or using fearmongering language as this can create stress and anxiety within the child. |
How Can Milkaid Junior Help?Milkaid provides the missing link in a lactose intolerance. Milkaid Junior delivers the lactase to help breakdown the milk sugar, lactose and therefore helps to limit symptoms. Milkaid Junior must be taken prior to consuming the lactose-containing food. |
What Foods Is Lactose Found In?Lactose is largely found in dairy foods but can also be found in some medicines, supplements and pre-prepared or ultra-processed foods. It’s always worth checking food labels as dairy will be listed as an allergen. |

About Milkaid
