Regarding the lactose intolerance: I never experienced it before

until I went on a dairy-egg-wheat-soy elimination diet (I have two

food allergic children who I breastfed). Then, after nearly 4 years

of no dairy, I started reintroducing it into my diet - slowly.

Of course, I had horrible reactions (gas, bloating, severe diarrhea),

and later found out that when you stop eating dairy, you stop

producing lactase, and become lactose intolerant.

In my case it has improved - with the slow reintroduction and a two-

fold increase in thyroid! I have no problem with cheeses, and only

slight intolerance when I drink milk.

Regarding your recent surgery: I hope you can find some relief from

colitis (and a suitable diet) that will allow your GI tract to heal.

Best of luck!

My lactose intolerance is from my gastric by-pass surgery... it's a shame since

my surgery " broke " and I have gained quite a bit of weight. Nasty, cruel, joke.
