The test took 2 hours to do. The nurse said that DD passed and doesn't have lactose intolerence. Okay that is great news BUT, the minute my DD drank dairy after the test, she bloated and had gas more than ever. Could the test be wrong? I haven't even talked to the DR. about this test yet. He's suppose to call me about the results. Test was done Friday and the doc. wasn't in at that time. Is this possible that she is allergic even though test said different?

Thanks.

I'M not familiar with this test, but I will say this...My 22 month old son was allergy tested by skin and blood. He had been projectile vomiting within 30 seconds of drinking milk. The skin test came back saying he was not allergic and the blood test (which I've heard is very accurate) said he was allergic. I think the doctor explained that the tests both look at sometihng different in milk...maybe that's the case with this test, too? Maybe she's allergic to something in the milk that this particular test doesn't look for??? Good luck!

My son is supposed to go for that test tomorrow. I am cancelling the appointment. I have been giving him Lactaid in place of milk or along with dairy and see improvement. I have even taken it away and saw the symptoms return. You can always try a lactase enzyme product.

Dairy makes me bloat and gives me gas too. But it isn't the lactose, it is the casein. I didn't realize it until Enterolab tested me for it.

I asked my son's pediatrition about having that test done and he said it will show if there is an intolerance but not the level of intolerance which is different for each person. He suggested an elimination and test with lactaid pills - we have since done an elimination diet for casein intolerance and he was OK with that, he just needs 3 lactaid ultra pills for ANY dairy. Lactaid milk is fine for him.

Maybe lactose is OK but casein is not? Don't know but maybe someone else can shed some light on it.

Has she been tested for an intolerance to casein (milk protien versus lactose which is sugar)? They usually do a skin test and or blood test.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
