I am 18 and for the past 2 weeks anything I ate that was saturated with dairy i.e. ice cream, cheese, sour cream, and mayo made me sick. I went to my campus' health center and they told me that I was in fact lactose intolerant. However, my baby brother is extremely lactose intolerant and my mom is sending me the lactaid pills to take whenever I want ice cream. My main question is: why is it that only products that are saturated in dairy make me sick? I can eat eggs and pancakes with no problem, so does this mean that it's just a severity in my allergy? Any answers would be greatly appreciated! =) Especially if you have kids that are lactose intolerant and/or you are yourself! =) thanks in advance!Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Mommy several times over - I have lactose intolerance as well. It's actually not an allergy. It's that your body can't deal with the sugar that naturally occurs is milk products.
ReplyDeleteIce cream, milk, sour cream and and cheese have more lactose in them than eggs or pancakes. Also you can try to find lactaid products in the store. They have a lot of stuff. I also eat Rice Dream when I want ice cream. There are a lot of lactose free things they now make - they could be in the health food section instead of in with regular products..
