Question: Is it possible to BECOME lactose intolerant!?
I LOVE milk products, but as recently as a few months ago, I have noticed that I get very bad stomach cramps, gas, and diarrhea after eating anything with dairy!. I'm in my mid 30's, and I have enjoyed milk ALL my life!. What gives!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Yes it is!. Your body uses lactose, which is an enzyme, to break down dairy when you eat it!. Biologically speaking we're not supposed to drink milk past infancy, especially not that of another species!. Some people's bodies produce lactose for their whole life, while others only produce so much!. The body can stop producing the enzyme, and then your body can't break down dairy and you become lactose intolerant!. You can try taking lactaid, or another supplement that contains lactose, which will allow you to eat dairy!. You just take it before you eat ice cream, or whatever!. There are a lot of dairy alternatives out there!. I mean, you can still eat dairy, it will just make you sick!. Personally I'll occasionally eat a piece of cheesecake or some Ben and Jerry's (looove Everything But The!.!.!.) and just deal with the consequences!. I would go to the doctor first!. Like I said, it takes adjusting, but you can do it!. : ) Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

the less fat in the milk the more lactose in it!. if you have switched to low fat or non fat try going back to whole milk!.
and for me it started off just a milk issue!. thru the years i became intolerant to all milk products and (boo hoo) including ice creamWww@Answer-Health@Com
