How do you help a gassy 15 month old child?

Question

My grandson cries at night because of gas. If I give him the anti gas Mylicon (sp?) stuff according to directions for small children, it does help but then he gets diahrea the next day.
What food should we avoid ( of course I don't give him beans or onions or even broccoli) what BABY foods should I avoid?
Is there any help for gas that does not cause diahrea? He can not sleep when he gets that way.
Otherwise he is a healthy, active (walking), 15 month old boy.

Answer 2

My daughter had similar symtoms many years in the past. The pediatrician suggested to attempt using a lactose loose formula. i attempted a type referred to as lactofree and her indicators went away. My daughter has hypersensitive reactions and she or he 6 years old now. I provide her silk, and eighth continent type soy milk. i ought to circumvent puddings and yogurt containing cows milk.
