Guest guest Posted August 11, 1999 Report Share Posted August 11, 1999 ~ Bad news...Micronor does contain lactose. I pulled out my insert and it is listed as one of the inactive ingredients. As far as vitamins....I take Nature's Way Prenatal Complete Multivitamin Formula, an OTC that I got at a Health Food Store. It specifically says: No yeast, milk, lactose, weat, sugar, soy, or corn.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 1999 Report Share Posted August 11, 1999 I take the local healthfood store's brand. They say on the bottle no soy, dairy etc... are included. I took these all through my pregancy, you have to take 4 a day (spaced out is best) but I have a large healthy baby and have not had probs. Maybe check with your healthfood store. (they are cheaper too at our store than the prescribed kind!) Aloha!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 That helps for sure! I'm going to look for it today! As for the pills, I've now heard they ALL have lactose. Gotta call the doc.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Okay, good news and better spirits today - the pediatrician explained that the lactose is the sugar in milk and Corey's allergy is to the protein part. Although it is impossible to fully separate the two, it shouldn't be a problem. And I found some prenates with no dairy anyway, just to be on the safe side. Thank you all for you kind words and for the information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
