If you suspect lactose intolerance, what should you do?

Patient's question:

The baby has greenish poop. The doctor doubts it's lactose intolerance, then does a thorough check and finds nothing. Then the doctor says it might be a protein allergy and suggests hydrolyzed protein formula. I want to do a thorough check to verify if it's really a protein allergy. What kind of check should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of your child's condition, it is likely that the symptoms are caused by indigestion. I suggest you give your child oral probiotics. In the coming days, feed your child in small, frequent meals, give your child more water, and pay attention to preventing your child's abdomen from getting cold to avoid catching a cold. The above advice is for the question "Baby has greenish poop, doctor doubts lactose intolerance and then did a test," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
