LACTOSE INTOLERANCE--some ideas based on real-life agony!

[Guest guest]

The sugar in milk is not in the fat; it is in " the rest of it. " That means

that

we get to have two problems: (and this can be tested for) lactose intol

erance to milk, and fat intolerance to milk and butter fats! Whoopee!

I would not leap to conclusions, however; you can ditch the powdered

milk, which is usually non-fat, therefore high in milk sugars, and have

your child tested. Meanwhile, there is Lactaid Milk (the milk sugars are

broken down into simpler sugars), and Lactaid tablets to take before

consuming milk products. Also, unless it is an ALLERGY to milk, usu

ally yoghurt is well tolerated--even frozen if it is really yoghurt. I would

suggest not feeling guilty about this; it is often what dieticians do tell us

to do! Good Luck to both of you. I would have the child tested for both

lactose and/or galactose intolerance and milk allergy! Do this before you do

anything else. Some doctors are really good about this!!!!!

Love and highest hopes,

n Rojas, wcf, who is no doctor, but IS lactose intolerant and has one

kid who is lactose intolerant and one who is allergic to it!!!!!

kid (not the one wcf) who is
