Has anyone ever become stable enough to have small servings of cheese, without paying forever? I know that it's possible that cheese is forever out of my life, and I don't even want to try it until I'm securely stable, but has anyone ever incorporated any dairy back into their diets?

I miss cheese...but I think it almost near killed me the last time I had it..a nightmare I do not want to revisit. Good luck and I hope you will one day be able to enjoy cheese again.

Not to promote consumption of dairy, but I do know several people with IBS who are stable and now able to have yogurt and real cheese (and remain stable). A few even eat pizza from time to time! 
And, yes, they really do have IBS...to the point of having to miss work or even stop working.

I am not lactose intollerant, I am stable, IBS-C, and I do eat cheese, but not american or swiss, or whatever other yellow cheeses are out there (or cream cheese). I eat mainly sheep fetta cheese and it doesn't bother me (the others do, because of the fat I guess...), I also have oatmeal with FF milk and remain stable.
So, yes, I did reincorporate dairy, but only FF or super low fat. I am sorry I cannot testify for the regular cheeses people eat in the US (chedar, american, swiss, mozarella, etc), I can only testify for sheep milk fetta cheese.

I can do OK with hard cheeses and aged ones. They have enyzmes in them..for instance bleu cheese. I do fine with it. Never on an empty stomach though.

How are you people able to have dairy and not pay a price?
Do you have to be stable for a long time?

Are you lactose intollerant?
I am not, so I don't pay anything... The fat in some cheeses throws me off, though.

I cannot do dairy at all. I've been stable for almost a year now and I still have the same reaction to dairy and red meat. I try now and then having some chocolate or cheesecake after a very safe dinner. It seems the most I can have is like one bite, any more and I'm in a full attack.

Actually, I don't know if I'm intolerant. That's the one test they've not done on me, and I'm requesting it when I finally get back in. It's good to know that some people do okay with dairy when stable. Doesn't mean I will, but there's some small hope!

I am able to sprinkle a tiny bit of Kraft fat free shredded cheddar cheese on my hamburger bun when I eat my soy burgers. It's really not very much, though... just enough to make it yummy. I can also eat 1-2 pieces of pizza from this local place. I don't know why, but it usually is okay with me as long as I've eaten well beforehand. Sometimes I might feel a little iffy, but it doesn't give me D anymore. We usually get pizza there every week or two. It's really my only "cheat" food, and I'm very careful not to overdo it. I can't eat pizza anywhere else, and I can't eat things like grilled cheese, milk, ice cream, or other dairy products. I have been pretty stable with only a couple of attacks since late spring 2006 (1 caused by anxiety and the others caused by eating a trigger food).

I have never eliminated dairy from my diet and I am lactose intolerant. I take lactase before consuming dairy. However, I cannot tolerate high fat dairy products such as cheese, cream, butter and ice cream not because it is dairy but because it contains too much fat. I can tolerate yogurt and milk.

I can have a bit of dairy now and then without miserable consequence. By "a bit," I mean less than an ounce of cheese or just a bite or two of ice cream.
And for some reason, I can eat Domino's Pizza and not suffer, either. I don't understand, but who am I to argue with pizza?

Yes, I can have certain cheeses, not processed like Kraft cheese slices, but good aged cheddar cheeses where you have to pay more for them. Also, I can do homemade ice creams with little to no problems. I usually go to the mom and pop joints for ice cream. I cannot do custard ice cream though. And I buy low fat mayonnaise and have no problems with using it.
