As I reported in "weird and wonderful", after 6 months on a gf diet, I
am no longer lactose intolerant. I've gotten an explanation and an
address to check out more info:
"the enzymes that process lactose sit on the intestinal villi--damaged
villi cannot hold the enzymes. Repair the villi and it is quite common
for the enzyme to reappear. Lactose intolerance is commonly a secondary
symptom for celliac that clears once the celiac is under control."
This is from http//www.celiac.com/frequent.html#celiac
(look under "How is lactose intolerance related to celiac disease?"
they also state that it usually takes a year or more to occur. I think
that mine was accerlated because I took L-gliutamine & megadopholus to
cure "leaky gut".
I must say, it's great to feel great. Now, my next goal is to lose all
this excess weight. I firmly believe that as my body heals, the weight
will even out.
Thanks for all your congrats and good wishes
Ann
