Answer 1

Sounds like if the milk is causing the gas and tummy cramps you are dealing with possible lactose problems or a milk sensitivity issue.  Try soy milk or lactaid both have calcium and the proteins in them but they are easier on the tummy.  Pediasure is expensive but that is another option as it is more gentle on a tiny tummy.

Answer 2

My son has a problem with lactose.  I am not sure if the formula milk is perhaps lower in this.  You can buy in the UK a milk that is just like normal milk but the lactose has been removed.  It is called Lactofree and it is in the chiller cabinet with the normal milk but near the soya milk.  You can also buy it long life.  

I am not sure if this is the problem but it is worth a try.

Answer 3

how much have you had to drink?

Answer 4

garlic has the highest amount of sulfur content than any other vegetable. i think it's a vegetable! anyway, number two is onions. the sulfur causes alot of gas, i mean alot! most people average ten releases/ day. while trying to cleanse my blood , look out, i was running for the door every twenty minutes.  i hope this helps somewhat. good luck,

Answer 5

Are your drunk?

Answer 6

just keep him on the follow on milk if thats what suits him

i used to give my son gripe water up until the age of about 5 because he had tummy pains and wind-that worked for him

I had him checked out at the doctors loads of times and they could find nothing wrong so take your son to the doctors to get him checked first to be on the safe side
