Is my doctor a QUACK?!
Question: Is my doctor a QUACK!?
I have really bad heartburn!. He tells me he's going to cut out my prilosec because Mylanta is the same exact thing!. I was taking one a day plus Zantac at night but he told me I didn't need the Zantac either!. He says my whole problem is MILK!. (I drink one glass a day of nonfat dry milk!.) "Your problem is too much sugar!!! Milk has a lot of sugar!. Lactose intolerance is just SUGAR intolerance!. Applejuice is the WORST thing for you!!! Don't drink that!!!" Do you think he's crazy!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Lactose intolerance is NOT intolerance to all sugars!. I have no trouble with sucrose, glucose or fructose-based products, but a severe lactose intolerance!.
As to the other arguments, he may just have a beef with the drug companies!.
Strangely, used to have severe heartburn and sucked down antacids like crazy until my lactose intolerance was diagnosed!. Since then, I haven't used them for years!.
I'd get a second opinion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your Dr is being honest with you!. Mylanta is another antacid just like Prilosec!. Maybe Prilosec (pill form) wasn't working!. So he's switching you to Mylanta ( liquid form) which will be absorb faster!. !.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in milk!. Lactose intolerance is caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine!. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into two simpler forms of sugar called glucose and galactose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream!. Not all people deficient in lactase have the symptoms commonly associated with lactose intolerance, but those who do are said to have lactose intolerance!.
People sometimes confuse lactose intolerance with cow
