Are You Lactose Intolerant?

[dgridley]

Just wondering how many have problems with lactose and dairy products? Besides gluten allergies, I can get pretty sick after too much milk or other kinds of dairy (such as ice cream)..

I don't have any problem eating dairy products or beef separately but if I mix cheese and hamburger in the same meal...watch out! I'm doubled over in pain within 10 to 15 minutes and making a run for the bathroom! I talked to my doctor about it once and he said that as you get older you sometimes can't handle certain foods as well anymore. A couple years ago I got a speeding ticket after eating a cheeseburger at a restaurant because I was trying to hurry to get to a restroom in the next town! LOL

I wonder if my son also has a problem with dairy because he said if he drinks milk in the morning without eating anything else, he gets a bad stomach ache.

My daughter had a friend that was very Lactose Intolerant when she was growing up. We always had to watch what we feed her when she was here. Fortunately as she grew older she was able to eat more things with dairy products in them and even later started drinking some milk as long as it was a small amount.

I can handle small amounts and the shame of it is I love dairy.
