Are you lactose intolerant?

Do you have any suggestions for those who are lactose intolerant?

From the lens Lactose Intolerance.

I would love to hear from everyone!

    Suggestion: check for gluten intolerance. The same part of the intestines that digests dairy gets zapped by gluten. My lactose intolerance is clearing up after going gluten-free.

    Watch out for the artifical sugars, in me they cause symptoms that mimic my mild lactose intolerance.......and they're in a lot of soy milks!

    Very good info! I like health information. I read a lot about that. Did you see Tony Robbin's Living Health?

    If you are lactose intolerant, you are missing the lactase enzyme. Eliminate all dairy products from your diet for a few days and you should know! Best thing to do probably, is call your doctor and ask for the Hydrogen Breath Test.

    Just the sort of lens I like to see in the Health category. SquidAngel Blessings for you.

    I can't help wondering if this could be one of the causes of my gastric problems. I know I'm missing at least two vital chemicals in my body: serotonin and intrinsic factor. Could I be missing more? 5*

    I never had a problem with lactose until I was well into my fifties. I still enjoy many dairy products, but have switched over to soy milk. Terrific lens!

    My daughter has done that - decided that taking a lactase pill will magically make everything OK. But, the "pill" does not prevent the symptoms when she has soft ice cream or home made macaroni and cheese! Those are two definite no-no's!

    I have a number of friends who have food allergies so I am learning a lot about this. It just seems to be affecting more and more people these days.

    I know people who are lactose intolerant. Excellent lens.

    Having grown up on a dairy farm, the idea of not being able to drink milk or eat ice cream is beyond my comprehension. I knew better but I thought they just didn't "like" milk. On the last day of class I brought in stuff to make homemade ice cream. We had a ball until one of the girls got sick. She was lactose intolerant. She took the pills figuring that would be enough. It wasn't. After reading your lens I have a better understanding of the frustrations lactose intolerant people go through.
    Thanks

    Great looking lens, with great information. It is very difficult to be lactose intolerant because it is everywhere. Great job Carmen.
