TO Lactose Intolerant people - question...?

Question

For those of you who are lactose intolerant - how did you first realize you were lactose intolerant? And did it happen suddenly and at what age? I read online and said the easiest way to test this is to cut out dairy products and see if your symptoms get better. My stomach is getting really upset with just a bowl of cereal now....did this change in diet help you determine if you were intolerant?

thank you!!

Answer 1

I got a really bad stomach flu (dont know what it was, but all I know is that it was 10x worse that any stomach flu)....Anywaze, after that I was always feeling really bloated and had very bad stomach aches.  The doctor gave me several tests and finally they diagnosed me as lactose intolerant.  Apperantly the stomach flu I had left my insides (stomach lining, gut...) really weak, so that is how I developed it.  I now also, might have celiacs due to this flu......not fun!!!
