I'd suggest you talk to a health professional about this. She could be anything from lactose intolerant to just having a mild stomach bug.
It's would be best to find the cause instead of trying different things and possibly making it worse.

Perhaps the milk was spoiled & you weren't aware of it. It could have been spoiled before you purchased it. All of the organic milk that you buy in the supermarkets is pasturized just like regular milk is...unless you bought it somewhere else & it's not pasturized then there could be a chance she's sick from a bacteria in the milk. Perhaps the milk was to rich for her? Did you change the % of the milk from the one you normally get? It could also just be a coincidence that she's sick & you gave her the milk. Take her to the doctor right away though just to be safe.
P.S. I've been giving my son organic milk for over a year & he never had any problems. Organic milk is better so don't let this incident deter you from organic products but get it checked out before you try the milk again.

If this "organic" milk you're talking about isn't pasteurized, then Please don't give any more to a baby. Tiny bodies have no defense against the kinds of bacteria that could be carried in unpasteurized dairy.
A child nineteen months old ought to be taking lots of solid foods. What else are you feeding the child? Try pureed baby foods, baby crackers and even some adult foods, if you can soften them up a bit.
Babies with diarrhea and vomiting can easily become dehydrated. I'd definitely call her pediatrician. You might need to give the kid pedialyte or another electrolyte replacement drink.

I would call your dr to be on the safe side but I will say in the dallas, tx area there is a huge nasty stomach bug going around that had my 3 and 1 year old boys having liquid bowel movements for about 30 hours, so it could be something as minor as that. Call dr to be on safe side good luck oh and give her the BRAT diet, bananas, rice, apples and toast, that should help

you're right in discontinuing the organic milk. babies' tummies tend to get easily upset with sudden changes in their diet. we don't know how their tummies react exactly to organic food. in the meantime, give her liquids every now and then to prevent dehydration. watch for any signs of dehydration which means you have to go to the hospital at once.
