I have become lactose intolerant.... I was wondering if that was common for Cfers??? Do you just take over the counter lactaid type enzymes or do you get prescription strength ones like we do to digest our food???

Thanks for any help,

Jennifer

How have you determined your lactose intolerance? Have you talked to you doctor? I cant help you on this one. I would ASSume that occ lactose meds should help, but depending on the severity you might need prescription strength. OK I didnt help much at all did I? LOL Next......

Hey,
That's funny, cause i just recently discovered that i was lactose intolerant. I always assumed that my stomach problems were because i wasn't getting enough enzymes, or i just couldn't digest things properly. Well, i took lactose out of the equation, and voila, my digestion significantly improved! It took 22 years of my life to figure this out. Kinda sad really.

I guess you could get over the counter stuff. I just avoid it completely, although cheese is ok cause it gets seperated from the lactose anyways.

anyways, take it easy,
kiel

Oh Mel.. you would know if you were or not.. it is like eating and not taking your enzymes......I drink milk, eat ice cream or have cream and it is the exact same as not taking enzymes when you eat.. I was also recently told to increase my Pancrease MT 20s.. I am now up to six a meal.. They say that it is normal to hve to increase them over time...

Funny cause I can eat cheese without it hurting as well....

I wonder does anyone else have this problem... I am on a presciption right now.. it works... but I don't have the dosage fixed yet.. so it still is a little off...

I can not tolorate milk products either, I too am just figuring this out. I just avoid milk products as well. I use the Silk milk in replace of regular milk. And with cheese I can't eat to much.
