This is likely due to lactose intolerance, a condition making it hard to digest lactose, a sugar found in dairy products. Most newborns are able to produce lactase, an enzyme crucial for the ...

[1] Humans vary in the amount of lactose they can tolerate before symptoms develop. [1] Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, flatulence, and nausea. [1]
Sugar as sweets, tablets or cubes. [25] The anti-hypertensive class of medication known as calcium channel blockers could be useful for reactive hypoglycemia as inhibition of the calcium channels on beta islet cells can help prevent an overproduction of insulin after a meal is eaten. [26] [27]
