If I understand it correctly, Lacteeze is for people who can not digest lactose (milk sugar) because they do not have the enzyme that is necessary to digest it. If your problem with dairy products is from something other than lacking that enzyme, this product may not help you. People lacking the enzyme will get cramps and diarrhea from the undigested lactose. SheriTo: asthma ; "asthma " <asthma >Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 8:06 PMSubject: Re: Re: nocturnal breathin

Hi Madeline,I've had acid reflux off and on for many years but these last two years have been the worst and I'm blaming it on my using Premeran cream, Pro Air Albuterol, Sjogren's/Lupus in lungs, asthma and for all I know the PH -- then for sure many of my meds have brought it on. That's why I've been on such a strict diet all of these years. I wish my problems were caused by acid reflux and that it wasn't from anything else. I do know that all of these problems are inter-twined and don't think that any doctors can really put their fingers on it in order to find the culprit. I was considering buying lacteeze (sp.) so that I can have yogurt and other things again and you can't imagine how afraid I am to try it again because once the acid reflux takes hold then it will take forever until I can undue it.SharonFrom:"Madeline Ingram" Subject:Re: Re: nocturnal breathinDate:August 23, 2011 7:48:38 PM EDTTo:"asthma " <asthma >Hi Sharon,Just another thought.

We have a similar sounding thing here called Lactofree. It does say on the packaging that it's suitable for people with lactose intolerance, but NOT a dairy allergy, because of the way it's been processed. It is standard milk, but with the lactose removed. I generally get rice milk rather than the lactofree milk (though lactofree do do individual portions of milk, like the UHT portions, whcih is handy if you are going somewhere and need to take a small amount of milk with you), but I do quite often get lactofree cheese - it tastes fairly similar to Leerdammer cheese, or at least I think it does anyway!JennTha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...!

I didn't feel I had a breathing problem while sleeping either. I wasn't waking

short of breath, or anything like that. However, I took the overnight pulse ox

test and my average saturation was only 85 for the night. My highest sat

recorded was 88. I was prescribed oxygen for sleep as soon as my doctor's

office got the report.
