Cow's Milk: Cause Of Constipation?
I did not associate cow's milk consumption with constipation until this week. My daughter started complaining of stomach cramps and this went on for four days. She would crumple up in agony. It was very strange because there was no vomiting or diarrhea and she hadn't eaten anything unusual or that she was allergic to. Or so I thought.
I drink milk myself, and it tends to have a laxative effect on me. It was only after a trip to the local GP and another to the hospital that I learned the cause of her trouble might be cow's milk. Apparently, cow's milk may cause constipation in young children.
The connection never occurred to me because I thought milk would have a laxative effect rather than the reverse. After all, this is what happens with me. I thought if my daughter was at all intolerant to milk, it should manifest as diarrhea instead of constipation.
Evidence Of Link Between Cow's Milk And Constipation
I researched the subject and came across an interesting study done at a university in Italy in 1998. It involved 65 children with chronic constipation who had been prescribed laxatives after dietary changes had failed to cure the constipation. Each child received either cow's milk or soy milk for two weeks, had a rest week, then for the next two weeks had the other milk that they didn't get the first time. When the results were analyzed, it was discovered that while they were on soy milk, 68% of the children were no longer constipated. In contrast, their conditions remained the same when they were on cow's milk.
Dr Alan Greene of DrGreene.com suggests that it could be the protein in cow's milk that is at the root of the problem, and that switching to soy milk can dramatically improve the quality of life of a child suffering chronic constipation.
Preventing Constipation
Switching to a dairy-free alternative is a relatively simple and inexpensive way to treat a constipation issue.
What about preventing constipation? Besides ensuring the child has enough fibre and fluids in her diet and gets enough exercise, is there anything else a parent can do?
Research has shown that probiotics, those friendly bacteria that prevent harmful microorganisms from building up in the body and poisoning it, can help prevent constipation by aiding in the proper digestion of food and nutrients and maintaining a healthy ratio of good to bad intestinal bacteria in the gut. Probiotics are also useful for rebuilding immunity that has been compromised by long-term use of antibiotics. This is something parents want to watch out for, especially in Western cultures which endorse the liberal prescription of antibiotics for all sorts of ailments.
If your child has no major digestive health issues, good for you! Keep her that way for as long as you can with a fibre-rich diet, lots of exercise and a good quality probiotic supplement.
If your child suffers chronic constipation, then you may want to experiment by simply switching her to a non-dairy diet.
I live in a family of klutzes. Most of our coffee mugs were missing handles. All of our surviving plates had cracks and chips in them and we only had one bowl left. We had to do something about out dish situation, a situation that we were causing. I went on a hunt for indestructible plates.
Old enamel camping plates came to mind. You could throw those around a room without them getting a dent. I thought that even my boys couldn't break them. They seemed like the perfect solution.
They were also relatively safe, as far as chemicals leeching into foods. Except for one thing. The enamel often chips. As I read reviews of the camping plates online, I read that the more people used them, the more prone they were to chipping. Where we would be using them for everyday use, this seemed like a real problem to me.
The other problem I found was availability and selection. My step-mom has been using old enamel plates for years. Hers are real sturdy and don't chip much. She says she sees them at yard sales all the time. Yet, last yard sale season, neither one of us came across a single plate. It seems that they aren't as ubiquitous now as when she first collected hers.
I found the selection online to be lacking as well. The camping sets all came in either red or blue. That was okay, but not ideal. The real problem with the camping sets seemed that they were not made to the quality standards that the older plates that I was looking for were. I could get custom plates in a color of my choosing at the quality level I desired for around 0, but that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted cheap, indestructible plates.
Needless to say, I did not find them. I ended up going with a set of camping plates that were not enamel. We have had a few drops, but no serious accidents yet. They are a sturdy plastic set. It's funny. In all of the years of broken dishes, none of our plastic cups broke. I hadn't considered plastic until I was poking around the dishware options on Amazon.
Plastic dishware may seem very childish to some, and they are probably right. What kind of family needs to replace their dish set with plastic dishes? Well, a family full of boys for one. I'd like to say it was all them, but my husband and I haven't dared to own a glass cup since our last one broke around our first anniversary. We've come to terms with who we are. We'd rather have plastic dishes than cracked and chipped dishes.
