i don't know if there is a connection, but from what i've read, avoiding
dairy is a good thing to do in order to avoid some of the symptoms.  i'm
still learning about all this, and am really at odds with the doctor who
diagnosed me, but until i get a second opinion, i'm trying to avoid as
much discomfort as possible.
