You do not say why your daughter needs a lactose free diet - the commonest reason is a temporary lactose intolerance which can happen after gastro-enteritis. In this the lining of the gut wall is damaged and can not make the enzyme lactase which breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.

An assortment of indoor and outdoor allergens can launch a surprise assault. Pollen's a biggie; so is mold. Whatever you can do to tame those plagues will make your life sweeter.

An allergen is normally a harmless substance in the environment, such as pollen, which causes the immune system to react as if the allergen is harmful.
