    Lactose intolerance in infants occurs from birth. The onset of the adult form is from 3-5 years. It is possible to have secondary LI due to damage to the gut which will be temporary unless the damage is not healed (so important to figure out cause of that).
    It's probably more likely dairy protein.
    Here's an article which talks about LI a bit more

    A good idea might be to talk to a doctor or a dietitian about an elimination diet to try and get to the bottom of things. There's a dietician in Perth who specialises in this - she does phone/email consults.

    ETA - my understanding is that the stool test does not work in infants? They will all have sugars in their poo.

    Ok, thanks.

    Where can you get the A2 milk from? Does it come in long life form? We have no major supermarkets here, so not sure what would be available.
