[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 387040, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkgreen]My difficult child was diagnosed with lactose intolerance when she was fairly young - I think around 6/7 - via the hydrogen breath test with a pediatric gastroenterologist. After only 30 minutes they pulled us inside to talk. We met with a dietician who explained to us about foods that have dairy derivitives and what ingredients to watch for...when she said tuna I was very confused.
