Hello! About 5 years ago I stopped drinking milk and eating milk
products because my allergist said those foods cause mucous. I never
had a problem with these foods before. When I tried to re-introduce them
into my diet, I got severe reactions (cramps, diarrhea, gas). Now I
cannot tolerate any milk products. It seems that lactaid works pretty
good, but sometimes I still get a reaction. How can I find out if I'm
lactose intolerant? I was also diagnosised with irritable bowel
syndrome. Could these symptoms be IBS and not lactose? It seems I
always have an upset stomach.
