What Kind Of Healthy Food Would Help My Friend’s Kid Safely Gain Weight?

She has lactose intolerance and apparently cannot digest wheat products! She is not even 2 years old but is already getting thin! She needs to gain weight for healthy growth! What can she eat? Please list off some food ideas and suggestions.

A:   

a lot of cheesy stuff like pizza,taco,don’t give her salad,give her a lot of meat,seafood,and rice .that’s all that i can think of right now, when i think of something else i’ll tell you.

A:   I’m lactose intolerant too, there are products like Lactaid milk which are lactose free. Try lots of salads ( fruits and veggies ) , fruit smoothies, meats and yogurt. Since many yogurts and dairy products arent lactose free get Lactaid tablets which will allow people who are lactose intolerant to eat dairy.

A:   I have several lactose and wheat intolerant individuals that I cook for at a camp for people with cerebral palsy and recently found several bread products made with tapioca and rice flours. They toast up well. There now are several products on the market that also can add weight without milk or wheat in them.

A:   I was a little underweight for my height. I ate a lot of protein (meat, fish, nuts) and snacked on fruits and veggies. I’d suggest eating many little meals throughout the day (doctors call it “grazing”) rather than eating 3 big meals.
