Could this be lactose intolerance?

I think I may have lactose intolerance...what do you think?

  • I think Im all of a sudden developing lactose intolerance but im not sure. I never used to have this problem. Im 16 years old and ive been a cheese addict for 7 years. Ive been able to eat it fine until now. Now all of a sudden my body's having a very unnatural reaction to cheese and milk.For the past few weeks, cheese is not agreeing with my system. I drank a big glass of milk today (all of it) and a bunch of cheese and 30 minutes later I got really bad stomach pain and bloating and I was extremley "gassy" (sorry for the info) and now (3 and a half hours later) I have bad diarrhea. Could this possibly be lactose intolerance? I talked to my mom about this problem Im having and she said to try not eating or drinking any dairy products for a full 24 hours to see if dairy is whats causing the problem and im gonna try that. And Im going to the doctor soon to get it checked out but im thinking lactose intolerance is the problem because I dont eat cheese or milk until after school and im perfectly fine until I eat it and then my body goes crazy. Could this be a dairy allergy as well?

  • Answer:

    Yep. Sounds like lactose intolerance. Your mom is right. Try not to eat it and when you do again try some lactaid. It is inexpensive and if you have no symptoms, you have your answer.

Defiantly avoid dairy for a full day and see how your feel and then try slowly introducing it back into your diet. If that isn't it, try keeping a food diary. That helps pinpoint any kind of food reaction you might have.

Try going without the dairy products for 24 hrs to see if that gives you the answer. Then remember that today, even ice cream comes for people that are lactose intolerant. Since your love is cheese you'll find allot of cheese comes made this way too. I myself am like you are and didn't even realize that almost everything dairy is also made for those that are lactose intolerant too. o you need to suffer because your body went through a change, not today. Good luck and God Bless
