[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387028, member: 1233"] Most people become progressively more lactose intolerant as they get older. Our bodies are NOT designed to handle breast milk from cows. We don't normally have enough of the right things to break it down. My gastro doctor says that almost all of his IBS patients are lactose intolerant. He didn't do the breath test because he said it isn't as good a predictor as trying a big glass of milk and watching the symptoms after and then having another glass of milk but taking the appropriate amount of lactaid with it and watching the symptoms. My boys are odd. They don't handle milk well, but lactose isn't their problem. They have problems with the milk FAT. As a 1yo Wiz got so sick when we introduced milk that he was nearly hospitalized. Constant diarrhea, fussy, gassy, miserable. We sweitched to formula because the milk in it is broken down and he improved HUGELY. Not soy formula because he didn't tolerate that well either. Just regular baby formula. WIC paid for it for 2 years for him because otherwise he got really sick. thank you reacted the same way to milk, but he also got red cheeks and ears, and had respiritory problems. We used soy formula for him when he switched to formula, and then used tofutti and other substitutes for milk. Now he is okay with milk but strongly prefers soy milk. I have developed lactose intolerance pretty much like what your son described. As a teen one of my friends suddenly started having the reactions your difficult child has and she was diagnosis'd with lactose intolerance and IBS. The walmart brand of lactaid ultra works better for me than the name brand. Hopefully he can take lactaid at school if the meals include any sort of dairy. Do schools consider lactaid a drug, meaning he would have to go to the office? Back when I went to school we just behaved well and kept it in our purses or pockets, but I don't think that schools would like that now. [/QUOTE]
