Question 1

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Increase dietary fiber
stay on lactose free diet.

Question 2

can a hemmoroid be irritated with a bad lactose intolerance attack and how can it get in the way?

Accepted Answer

Irritated: A hemorrhoid can be irritated with the constant diarrhea or change in bowels that may come form a lactose intolerance attack.  Once the area calms down, increasing fluids, fiber, some steroid creams etc. May help treat the hemorrhoid. If big and not resolving, it may need a dr. Best wishes.

Question 3

can lactose intolerance cause hemroids?

Accepted Answer

Can't digest lactose: A normal person eating a healthy diet including dairy products can get flatulence or bloating. One reason is excess fiber. Since humans don't digest the fiber, intestinal bacteria will feed on it and make gas as a byproduct. Another reason is lactose intolerance, in which one can't digest the lactose (milk sugar) he eats. Again, bacteria will feed on it. Gas can build up, causing bloating.

Question 4

could i be lactose intolerant if i get gassy with milk?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Lactose intolerance can cause bloating, gas, stomach pain and diarrhea after consuming milk products. If you are planning on avoiding dairy and milk you would need to check with your doctor or a dietitian about making sure your calcium intake is adequate.

Question 5

i feel sick every time i drink milk (which is odd, because i'm not lactose intolerant), what other ways can i get a good source of calcium?

Accepted Answer

Calcium : there are many foods besides milk which contain substantial levels of calcium. Yogurt, collard greens, black-eyed peas, cheese food, trail mix, canned salmon, baked beans, tofu, and cottage cheese all contain more than 100 mg of calcium per serving. In addition, you could try skim milk or almond milk. Finally, calcium supplements such as Tums (calcium carbonate) are available.  Good luck.

Question 6

hi there, a couple of general questions. 1. is it safe to take those lactaid pills before having foods with lactose even if someone is not lactose intolerant? i am not sure i am or not, sometimes i get a little bloated, but feel fine?

Accepted Answer

: The pills contain the lactase enzyme that lactose intolerant people don't make or don't make enough of to be symptom free consuming the products. Enzymes are just complex proteins, the pills are not a drug that could hurt you. If you don't need it but take them it is just a different source of protein. Use if you desire, it may help.

Question 7

is it possible to randomly get lactose intolerant sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Transient lactose intolerance often comes after a stomach flu. The damage to the bowel often damages the enzymes that break down lactose. These "regrow" over several weeks and then the lactose intolerance should go away!

Question 8

which type of pain do you get in your stomach if you are lactose intolerant?

Accepted Answer

Cramp, bloat: Cramp, bloat, gas.

Question 9

i am not lactose intolerant but i get diarrhoea after drinking milo. what gives? :( this is milo btw --> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/milo_(drink))

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea: You are not lactose intolerant.
Are you gluten intolerant?

You require a MD, to assess GI intolerances.

Question 10

i'm not lactose intolerant but i stopped drinking milk for maybe month or so. now when i drink milk i get grossed out real bad but i don't get sick  y?

Accepted Answer

Not sure but...: Many feel milk is appropriate for young children, but no other species drinks milk when mature.There are sound reasons from a health perspective to reduce dairy in your diet.The fact that milk grosses you out suggests that some part of you recognizes it is best avoided-see http://www.Pcrm.Org/health/diets/vegdiets/health-concerns-about-dairy-products 
if you do have dairy choose organic!
