Lactose is vital for growth and development in children. There is paucity of data from India on use of low lactose diet in infants with diarrhea. This article presents case reports from India for four infants with diarrhea managed with low-lactose formulas to maintain energy and nutrient intakes without avoiding lactose entirely.
