becoming more lactose intolerant over time
So, the farther out from surgery I get, the more lactose intolerant I get. I don't drink milk and don't usually eat soft cheeses. I have never had issue with yogurt before, but today I had a light and fit greek yogurt (raspberry flavor) for an afternoon snack and now I feel so nauseated. I feel the gassiness and gurgling tummy that I get when I'm bad and eat ice cream. I didn't think that there was a bunch of lactose in Light and Fit, and I've been eating is since surgery and have never had a reaction to it before.
Has anyone ever had a problem with it? Or has anyone had a problem with becoming more intolerant over time? Uck, I feel terrible.
Sometimes it is terrible for me and sometimes it seems to go away. For the first seven years, I got cramps and terrible diarrhea whenever I had mil**** cream, pudding, unless it was Lactaid.
During the last year, I have had no problems.
I still have my Lactaid tablets just in case.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I had lactose intolerance come on suddenly around year 3, and since then I have gone thru stages of it getting worse and then a little better, than worse and better again. I have not been able to figure out why from tracking what I eat. There doesn'T seem to be a pattern to it. I also started getting reactive hypoglycemia around the same time and this also seems to be getting worse, with occassionally improvements. Maybe it's a macro nutrient ratio thing - carbs/fat/protein or possibly it has to do with the amount of fiber I ate at the last meal. Not sure.
