lactose

 Hi
I have a question, 
a friend of mine has a daughter who is overweight. she has a tummy problem and so does my daughter, their main weight problem is their big tummy. she said that someone recommended that she uses lactose free milk and she tried it, and after a while she noticed a difference in her tummy and recommended that I try it. I looked it up and I found no proof of it. does anyone have information on this? does milk intake have to do with it? we use only skimmed milk and yoghurt.
Thanks for reading

 I've never heard of this. But I do know that holding most of your weight in your stomach area, verse other areas of your body is a sign of Metabolic Syndrome (or any metabolic disorder... Insulin Resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, PCOS, Hypothyroidism, Cushings Syndrome, etc..) It'd be worth asking your daughters doctor about.
