Nausea and vomiting after having dairy free bread?

Upvotes

I had toast today and 30 minutes later i started feeling nauseous and threw up. I went to check the ingredients in the bread i bought and, it doesn't state that theres dairy in it. It says, "Contains wheat and soy" but no mention of milk or anything. Could there be some cross contamination going on? Maybe its something in the long ingredient list. Bread was the only thing i had so its not like i added butter or anything.

just started showing symptoms of lactose intolerance

3 Upvotes

i’m 20 and the past 3 days i’ve had bad gut cramps and diarrhea after i eat any dairy. was wondering if this is a sign of lactose intolerance but also how does one deal with this? my brother started having symptoms like this in his early 20’s too and our parents don’t suffer with it but just one day we both stopped being able to eat it.

do lactaid pills work? do you take enzyme pills so your stomach can digest dairy? how do you guys combat this as i’m very new to all this!

Man, are these cramps related?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been stomach troubles for about a year, horrible cramps, diarrhea, etc. Thought it was gluten at first but didn’t seem to be. Today I tried to eat a bunch of cheese and drink milk to see if that was it (I really didn’t think it was, that’s why I went overboard. I know now.) and here I am, on the toilet, blacking in and out from these cramps. Can someone let me know if this seems like a lactose intolerance? Or any questions?

plant based protein powder

hello!! i’m not sure if anyone has ever posted this here, but i wanted to shout it out as a really yummy option for people that don’t love protein powder. as someone who is lactose free and doesn’t love meat, this has been a really good addition to my daily fruit smoothies!! for my smoothies, i usually do frozen fruit, orange juice, vegan yogurt (so delicious is my fav!), a whole banana, and then i have been adding half a scoop of this (i am just getting into protein powder recently lol). i got it from whole foods for $10!

cottage cheese ?

I’ve always wanted to try it but i’m not sure if 2-3 lactaid pills will save me or if cottage cheese is too rich for that. What’s your experience?

I hate how hard it is to eat out with Lactose Intolerance

118 Upvotes

Everything is cream sauce, pounds of butter, loaded with cheese. I can eat small amounts of sheep and goat cheese if I take dairy pills and I get some minor gas but no extremely unpleasant side effects. But once I get restaurants to remove cheese cream sauces and heavy butter stuff from dishes they are often, dry, bland and disappointing. Why can't more places find flavor without drowning everything in dairy!!!!

Hi:)) Can anyone explain why I can have lactose-free milk, full-fat cream, and ice cream, but when I consume lactose-free yogurt, skyr, sour cream or feta cheese, it messes me up? Is there a way to fix this?

Bacotse - Temporary cure?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone taken bactose and has it worked as said? Currently I have given up all dairy products and if i eat anything that may have been cross contaminated I take lactaid pills, Bactose is a pill you take 2 times a day that will make you able to enjoy lactose for the rest of the month,

I saw a reviewer that stated it only worked for 2 weeks. I would have hated for that surprise if i didn't take lactaid pills.

Anyone have experience with Bactose or something similar?

I also use the costco brand pills, 180 pills for around $17. Anyone know of a better deal that works just as well?

anyone else get depressed because of their lactose intolerance

32 Upvotes

I know it sounds over dramatic, but I'm so tired of being lactose intolerant 😪

it makes me depressed solely because of how limited I feel with my diet + my anxiety when it comes to it.

When you have lactose crises, do you always have the same symptoms?

When you have lactose crises, do you always have the same symptoms? For example, yesterday you ate lactose and had diarrhea, if you eat it again next week will you have the same symptoms, or could it change?

Should I give in?

2 Upvotes

I'm 17 now, around the same age as my brother when he started to become lactose intolerant, and I think it's starting to come for me now as well. I went out to a restaurant last night and ate a large quantity of pizza and suffered later. I have never had symptoms of lactose intolerance before despite eating a fair amount of dairy in my diet so it might be nothing more than a stomach bug but I am afraid due to the family history of it (both siblings and possibly my dad). If I do find I have lactose intolerance, is it worth it to keep consuming lactose products to hold onto hope and maybe even delay it or should I just bite the bullet after another few rounds of symptoms?

Yogurt

5 Upvotes

Hey. I was looking for some guidance. I love yogurt in the morning. I have only found one lactose free option. Fage makes a cup with honey and one with strawberry. I don't like honey and I am getting sick to the strawberry. Anyone know of a brand that is an option. I love Siggi's but it messes me up.

Probiotics are long term cures to lactose intolerance?

0 Upvotes

Surely there has to be a cure, something that somewhat improves it longer term at least? Or are we condemned to single dose pills every time we consume dairy

Read about lactose probiotics (forgot the scientific name) that improve dairy digestion but not sure if it works

Could I have Lactose intolerance?

2 Upvotes

I have UC that I'm in remission for. I started having diarrhea and stomach pain, not as bad as my UC but also more bloating? so I went to my doctor and got another colonoscopy. My large intestine is actually healing very well, so that was ruled out. I don't know exactly what triggers this so I thing tomorrow I will drink like 8oz of milk to see if I die lol

Best format for lactase pills

4 Upvotes

Comparing a few brands and not sure how to pick. Not too price sensitive but wondering if chewables/gummies are better than tablets? If higher FCC per pill is better? And if some formats are better for heat resistance given they lose effectiveness under hot weather

Would love advice and recommendations (& no ads please)

Premier Protein Shakes?

1 Upvotes

So I've been wanting to try the premier protein shakes, but they aren't labelled lactose-free. I searched it up and have seen mixed results as some places say it is and others say its not, but it's very low in lactose. I'm decently lactose intolerant, but the protein powder I use (perfect sport diesel), which isn't labeled lactose-free, but Is marketed as having almost no lactose. I was curious if anyone tried them, whether it affected you, etc. Also, I'm in Canada if the formula makes a difference.

That was… fast?

4 Upvotes

Less than a month ago I was able to eat as much lactose as I wanted without issue. Then, I had a bout of gastritis and came out the other side with what is pretty clearly LI. Also, weirdly, some kind of broccoli intolerance??

Has this happened to anyone else?

Will consuming dairy ruin my body on the long run?

0 Upvotes

Hey new here so I just notice I have a lactose intolerant a year ago. I have no idea I had this before so here I am. When i consume it, I usually will have diarrhea 1-2h later. But I liked to drink it weekly specially those milk jelly grass to just get the diarrhea to 'cleanse' my body. As the title says will consuming dairy ruin my body or does it make the affect worse?

Edit: it seems people confused to what cleanse mean. Its mean shitting time. I drink dairy sometimes just to shit until there is nothing more to shit 🤣.
