Yes, that would be greatly appreciated.  I also have been diagnosed with
lactose intolerance but seem to have reactions to dairy that go above and
beyond what I would expect (ex: malaise, insomnia, overpowering sleepiness
at inappropriate times, in addition to all the GI symptoms).  My IgE count
is over 140 (normal is under 10), which at one point led my doctor to think
I had celiac disease, but all other tests, including biopsy, were negative
for this disease.
