     On 5/16, there was a post called "Summary
     On Lactose Intolerance".  In it, there
     was mention of Lactaid not being GF.

     I had been using Lactaid since I found that
     milk and, in particular, yogurt helped me.
     Part is due to calcium, another is due simply
     to feeling better when I eat yogurt.

     However, the Lactaid seemed to be losing it's
     effect and I was having more and more lactose
     intolerance-type effects.  When I saw the
     post, I immediately stopped using Lactaid and
     eating dairy.  The problems stopped and I
     actually saw a general overall improvement.

     As an experiment, I tried milk and cereal
     one time and yogurt another.  To my very
     welcome surprise, there were no lactose
     intolerance-type aftereffects.  Apparently,

        - Lactaid is not GF.

        - lactose intolerance, at least in my case,
          was not irreversible.

     Many thanks to the poster of that summary and
     to this list.
