Dear Ask The Doctor: My 15 year old daughter gets diarrhea whenever she drinks sweet tea or eats sweetened cereal early in the morning. What could be causing this and do you have any suggestions on what I can do to help her? Due to this problem she does not eat breakfast before going to school. Thanks, Angela B.
Dear Angela: It seems that there is something in the food that she is eating that she may be allergic to. You need to stop the foods that seem to cause these symptoms and try an elimination diet for a week to analyse the same. I would suggest that you try something other than cereal for breakfast. Also try and avoid milk in case she is lactose intolerant. All the best. |
