Re: Lactose Intolerance & Soy Intolerance

[Guest guest]

I am both lactose and soy intolerant and have been since surgery on October

15, 2002. I, too, will only indulge in ice cream in the evenings or on a

weekend when I don't have to go anywhere or be near anyone. I have given up

milk

almost entirely, except to use it -- whoops, I was going to admit to using it

in the occasional cup of decaf coffee that I allow myself (only once a month or

so when in a restaurant will I do it).

The soy intolerance was the worst however and it took me a long time to

figure out what the problem was. I was having protein drinks and thinking I was

doing all this good stuff and had massive gas problems. I am telling you it was

the worst. I finally figured out it was soy products that made it so bad and

after eliminating them the problem is reduced. I am extremely intolerant of

cheese also, which I love. That gives me instant gas. I used to be quite a

milk lover but I love my new self even more so I don't mind not having milk

anymore. The ice cream, well, I do have that occasionally.

,

I have found that I am lactose intolerant too- sometimes to a greater degree

than others- my Doc told me that sometimes lactose intolerance can mean that

you can have one glass of milk- but- 2 will do you in- that sometimes it is

the actual quantity of lactose you can tolerate-

I have found that by taking lactaid- available over the counter-- it does

stop the gassiness and bloating and all of the other side effects too.- Try

it and you won't have to suffer anymore.

As far as a tolerance for soy- I eat a lot of Japanese food- and they use a

lot of soy and I don't have a single problem- some dairy products yes- soy

no.

Hope that helps.

I had my surgery 7/1/03- and I find that the lactose intolerance is

improving a little- only in the sense that I can have extremely small

quantites of ice cream with out extreme nausea. Yogurt and cottage cheese

also make me nauseus- but I can eat cheese and whipped cream. I am afraid to

eat yogurt- due to the lactose intolerance but I may try it again not that I

have discovered lactaid.

Good luck!

I have found that I'm not really lactose intolerant - it's more of the only

thing I like any more is cheese (dairy-wise anyway). Don't really care for

milk or ice cream - it's like the consistency of it is gross in my mind -

wierd. Also, I will go for a while, then boom - i'll have intense cravings

for things like (right now) egg rolls - go figure! Sometimes its pretzels,

and usually I find I crave salty things - again wierd!

Have you tried the Lactaid products?. Walmart makes a generic

version. You take it with the first bite/drink of dairy.

Yes, but maybe I should give it another try.
