Lactose Intolerant?

[Anonymous]

I recently added dairy back into my diet after four months of being dairy free. Blake seems to be fine while nursing (no reaction), but after having pizza I woke up the next morning with terrible stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea. I was sick the whole day! I also made pancakes (milk in the mix) and coated the pan with butter and afterward my stomach was killing me. The pharmacist at the drug store said that it sounds like I’ve developed a lactose intolerance. Does this mean I won’t be able to have milk products ever again? I looked online and some sites say that you should just avoid dairy, and others say you can try to add it back in slowly. I can’t believe that Blake is fine but I am sick now. 🙁 Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i don’t think that vomiting is part of lactose intolerance. i’m guessing you caught a tummy bug.

I have read that some people can get a temporary lactose intolerance in certain situations…like illness. If you are worried I would go to your Dr and seek further information. In most case if you were not lactose intolerant you are probably not and any temporary intolerance would resolve quickly. It could also be that you are not that used to digesting milk protiens and will need a little while for your body to get back on track. Of course it could just have been bad pizza ;-). My Dr always says..three things will happen…it will stay the same, it will get better or it will get worse…either way we will soon know what we are up against 😉
