Carter's Lactose Intolerance

I am taking Carter to the doctor tomorrow because his rash on his head and face have not healed. He appears to slightly improve and then it flairs up again. I was reading about infant lactose intolerance today and found this info:

Anything that damages the gut lining, even subtly, can cause secondary lactose intolerance. The enzyme lactase is produced in the very tips of folds of the intestine, and anything that causes damage to the gut may wipe off these tips and reduce the enzyme production, for example

• gastroenteritis
• food intolerance or allergy (In breastfed babies, this can come from food proteins, such as cows' milk, soy or egg, in the mother's milk originating in her diet, as well as from food the baby has eaten.)
• coeliac disease (intolerance to the gluten in wheat products)
• following bowel surgery

Since he had bowel surgery, I assume this might be the cause of our problem. Please continue to pray that he outgrows this and that breastfeeding continues to be an option for us. I'll let you know what I find out from the doctor tomorrow.
