I thought eggs have Vitamin D, as well as milk. I know sunshine does, and have read that 15 minutes a day is good. However, today I read the label on an egg carton, and no mention was made of Vitamin D. I eat yogurt almost every day for more calcium.

info on lactase deficiency is inadequate..no mention of milk with lactose removed available in grocery and no mention of ethnic groups predisposed to the condition additional points should be added. incompleteness surprise to me.

Lactose tolerance is actually considered a genetic mutation that occured in the past. When it comes right down to it, cow milk was not intended for human consumption. I'm lactose intolerant, I just consider myself devoid of that mutation, it's kind of a nice thought!

I, too have a lactose problem. I use Lactaid and Soy products to cook. I still enjoy gravy, ice cream, and pizza. I just read labels constantly!

I had thought of myself as 'lactose intolerant' due to, when I turned 25, I began to break out in mesquito type bumps when I drank whole milk or had alot of dairy. Now, I'm confused. Anyone with the same problem, email me thanks

have severe LI, gotta watch everything including medications that have lactose in them. lactaid not enough. After ingesting lactose, the cramps cause severe pain, explosive diarrhoea - makes horrid mess and very offensive smell

i have been lactose intolerant since i was 8 and it has only increased since then. i drink rice milk and cannot eat or drink anything with the slightest bit of milk in it, even if it is lactose free, like lactaid milk. Lactaid pills do not work for me either. could this be a sort of dairy intolerance?

I have severe L.I. since I was 11 (suspected it started much earlier, but I wasn't diagnosed until age 11). I drink Lactaid milk; yogurt will ALWAYS help an attack, because yogurt cultures contain lactase, the enzyme that our bodies lack to digest lactose; only cow's milk bothers me. I can freely eat goat's and sheep's milk cheeses (feta, goat cheese, pecorino romano); hard cow's milk cheeses, like parmesan, are much easier for me to digest than soft cheeses; Lactaid brand pills don't work for me, however, after reading an article, I got 'Lactinex' from my pharmacist (no scrip req'd), and that works wonders for me; Also, very interesting, during my pregnancy, my L.I. disappeared. I could eat pizza, ice cream, sour cream, you name it! The intolerance did reappear within 6 weeks of having the baby, though. Try goat's and sheep's milk cheeses! I make my lasagna with soft goat cheese and a little parmesan...it's awesome.

Mine came gradually Stomach pains, all that comes with it. I use soy milk now. Is it for sure in relation with genetics. It seems that mine came on after gall bladder surgery a few years ago. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have read a few sights. Personal experiences I believe are better. Thank you.Take care
