Also, what is the difference between lactose intolerance and not being able to tolerate dairy because of IBS? -------------------- Laura DX IBS 12/07 Following IBS Diet with Weight Watchers Also GERD Former cast iron stomach Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Lactose Intolernace       #328395 - 04/17/08 12:59 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest the sugar lactose found in dairy. It is diagnosed with a breath test or by dietary exclusion. It occurs frequently in normal as well as IBS suffers. This problem is overcome by using lactose free milk and cheeses or by taking the enzyme lactase immediately before consuming dairy. While many IBS suffers report problems with dairy other than problems with lactose there is little evidence in the IBS research literature supporting this notion. However, there is a bit of evidence suggesting that some IBS suffers may be exhibit an immune system response to some proteins in dairy which may aggrevate IBS. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
