Question for parents

I guess I should also add, he can't have milk anymore, it really has messed up his stomach. So he has been drinking Almond milk as a substitute. Since he isn't drinking whole milk, I want him to get something else to substitute some of the nutrients he is losing. We have been giving him vitamins, but I feel like he needs more than just that.

Probably the lactose. Try some Lactose-free milk and see what happens?

He hated the Lactose-free milks(Silk). Wouldn't touch it. He will at least drink the Almond milk for the most part.

The OP is more about establishing habits and good practices now at a young age. They won't be making good decisions about their diet that young. As I stated earlier, mine have grown to like nearly everything, but do have foods they don't like which I won't force feed. And this certainly isn't about feeding them foods that you've jacked up.

I'm not about cleaning the plate either. If they're full, they're full. Having said that though, they DON'T get a snack an hour or two later because they were "full" and just wanted to leave the table for whatever reason.

What the OP is all about is: they see a "new" glob of food on the table and refuse to eat it because something tastier in their mind is in the fridge.

Gotcha-yeah, I'm on the same page as you are pretty much.

No, no, no. Lactaid or a similar brand. Silk is Soy-milk. *bleh*

It's cow's milk but they've removed the lactose sugar that causes digestion problems in some people.

Hmm, not sure if the wife tried that on him. We will check it out.

Basically, if he eats or drinks dairy, its a blown out diaper with shit running down his leg.

I am 1000% lactose intolerant, like one drop of milk, or milk related problem will cause me massive gas pains. Silk = ASS, Lactaid milk = good. Also, they make pills for lactose intolerance, you simply take one right before a meal, then you are good to go.

Ya, sounds like lactose-intolerance.
