Hi

I have posted many times and it seems I may Lactose intolerant. I did the 10 days Dairy free diet from www.Godairyfree.org. PLus I have be gluten-free for a month. Today is day 11 and I am suppose to go back to dairy. Well I did this morning with coffee and milk, and to see what happens, I ate some american cheese. OH BOY, my stomach is dancing and if I wanted I could go to the bathroom at any moment(I have learned to hold or control through all this). Basically Mr Dr screwed up my tests many times and I scheduled blood work and they never did it, then they did it and lost it! Finally two months ago they did it and they said I was not LI. I finally asked what kind of test they did. He said it was a genetic Marker test. I demanded an absorption test. Will this be more accurate, or will I be wasting my time. Their is clearly an issue. But like many of us, I would love for the Dr to actually give me a diagnosis.

Thanks in Advance

I can't give you much info, I never did an official doctor test for lactose intolerance. I think I read about a test called a hydrogen breath test a while back. I have plenty of symptoms of lactose intolerance, so I don't need a doctor to tell me about it. It's not like there is anything they can do about it after all.

You might also have casein intolerance in addition to lactose intolerance. I am not sure if there is a test for that one or not. There is a thing called casein mediated enteropathy also, that can damage the villi like celiac does.

And then, worst of all, there are those nasty ice cream headaches. Is it really worth the risk? :)

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
