<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello all, I don't know if anyone can help me but I'm nearing the end of my rope. About a month and a half ago, I ate something that very likely was made with flour. Between a few days and a week after eating it, I had the most severe reaction I've ever had: very bad diarrhea, depression, achiness, terrible bloating and gas. I seemed to recover after a week or two, and felt fine for a week and a half to two weeks. Then suddenly my symptoms came back and I was unable to pinpoint the reason. It also became very hot around here at that time, and I noticed that when I exerted myself I became very dizzy and nauseous. I attributed it to the heat, but this has happened a few times since then. I'll be fine for a few days, then get terrible diarrhea and bloating with nausea and dizziness (these last two happening mostly after I've exerted myself, though sometimes as little exertion as descending a flight of stairs). I think that these subsequent episodes have happened after I've eaten milk, ice cream, or sour cream. Is it possible that the gluten-ingestion episode a month and a half ago has made me extra lactose sensitive for all this time? Or is it just that now that I've been gluten-free for a few years the reactions are more severe and take longer to pass? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
