Let me first say that I'm generally impressed with the quality of the
messages on this list. When I first subscribed a few weeks ago, I was
skeptical. Since then I've been pleasantly surprised over and over. <applause>
My non-eloquent question is this: "What's the deal with reaction time (for
lack of a better term) to foods containing Lactose?"
More specifically, I'm still having trouble identifying foods that might
cause reactions in my digestive system. I've been LI for a long time, but I
only recently put 2 and 2 together to figure out what was going on. Every
once in a while I'll eat/drink something that I shouldn't. In some cases, I
"notice" (meaning that the symptoms begin) in a very short amount of time.
In the shortest of times, it's only 10 - 20 minutes.
However, there are other times when it takes hours (and sometimes not until
the next morning) and the symptoms are more muted (less dramatic).
I have assumed that this is related to how "processed" the Lactose is
and/or how hard my body has to work to break things down to the point at
which it encounters the Lactose. But that's just a theory.
Can anyone shed more light on the topic? Are there some foods which are
known to cause immediate vs. delayed reactions?
Thanks,
Jeremy
