I too am latose intoerant and have been since I was in 5th grade. But then my gastric problems were diagnosed as due to nerves. It runs in my family; mother & sister. My mother has IBS so it's bit worse but similar symptoms. I'm now 58 yrs young and know my triggers; mainly ice cream (my weakness) and milk (need for my ceral). My symptoms are immediate. And can last up to 12 hours which is very draining. Since I can't eat, I end up losing several pounds at the time.
The over-counter-drugs are not very helpful. I haven't found success in anything yet. I keep trying though. 🤞
Thanks for your time.

    Have you tried any of the many milk alternatives?

    No, there are so many. I have no idea which one will work. I can't drink soy milk due to a medication I'm on.

    Try a couple maybe coconut or oatmilk. It's better than continuing to make yourself sick.
