    Lactose intolerance is actually caused by damage to the baby's intestinal mucosa, resulting in the destruction of lactase on the surface of the mucosaThe root cause is a lack of lactase in the stomach. Urine galactose testing can usually be done. Persistent diarrhea, diarrhea multiple times a day to more than 10 times, the vast majority of babies have a lot of gastrointestinal vapor, often pull out a little excrement on the diaper.
