I had a sudden onset of lactose intolerance at age 31. Within about a month or two I went from ability to eat ice cream, to inability to drink a cup of coffee with milk. I never identified a trigger, though I had been taking strong antibiotics for a sore throat a couple months before the problem started. Now I am 36 and still very lactose intolerant. But I have learned to adapt, and only rarely think about the problem now. In fact, I sometimes consider it a blessing. I would be twenty pounds heavier today had I not politely declined to accept dessert offers on lactose grounds for the past five years. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
