Sir, since milk is the best of calcium but I am a milk intolerant so cannot take the same. Sir lassi prepared from curd provides the same amount of calcium as of milk. Further please tell me also whether lassi possess the same amount of calcium and nutritions which curd provides.

Lassi perse needs to be avoided and if milk is intolerable and if fresh curd is tolerated than can drink fresh homemade curd or otherwise we will have to skip curd also from our daily diet

If there is itching and small swellings (hives) on the skin after eating these products, it suggests allergy to these food items. Tingling only specifically does not denote allergy. Observe few times and get allergy tests done.

Hi Sir, My baby is primary lactose intolerance since 1 month of her birth. She is now 3 months old and completely on soy milk. I wanted to know if this is permanent or will change as she grows?

Hello,
She is too young to be fed on soy milk. Secondly, if the baby is exclusively breast fed it should not give her trouble. Lactose intolerance could aggravate due to consumption of cows/buffalo milk. Most babies wean off by the age of 5, to tolerate lactose products. For further information you can contact me online.

The lactose in milk is digested or changed in chemical structure and hence the diarrhoea is not seen, which occurs with milk that has lactose in it, unchanged.

Hello lybrate-user. It is a kind of allergy and gradually increases and you become sensitive to the things which were not before.
To stop or cure it you should take proper homoeopathic treatment.
You can consult me at Lybrate.
Till then take tuberculinum 200 one dose.
