Lactose Issues

[GlutenFreeAl]

Hi. For those who were once lactose intolerant but can now tolerate it nicely, how long did it take?

I was lactose intolerant for years before diagnosis but it seems to be getting a bit better on the gluten-free diet. I can now tolerate yogurt daily (YAY!) and small amounts of hard cheese.

I've been gluten free for about 4 months now, so the other day I tried regular-people milk on my cereal. Big mistake - my body is clearly not ready for that

Just wondering, for those of you who can tolerate dairy again, how long did it take?

Thanks!!

My celiac was dx only 6 weeks into the disease, so I probably had very little damage done (dx by diet challenge, no tests). But it still took me quite awhile to tolerate yellow cheeses. I think nearly 6 months. I still don't drink as milk and eat as much cheese as I did pre-Celiac.

it took me about six months to be able to tolerate cheese and cream in my coffee, but I don't drink milk on a regular basis, so I don't know about that... I do know that within the last year I've had Midel's oreo substitues with a glass of milk and did fine... but I've been gluten-free 3 years now.
