Hi I'm relatively new to this but from what I understand, it's not just the lactose that gives us IBS problems; it's the milk proteins like whey & casein. Heather spells it out here.
I was terribly disappointed when I found this out but there are so many benefits to eliminating dairy--I feel so much better! Also there are lots of milk-free things we can eat; I like "rice dream" ice cream, tofutti cream cheese and soy milk or rice milk, both of which can be used for cooking.
