Maybe an allergy: Actually you may have a chocolate allergy(or sensitivity) ..If you can eat all other milk/dairy products and not get stymptoms, then you may not be lactose intolerant. Do you get symptoms when eating other chocolate items? If not then the "cure" is just avoid chocolate milk....

20f. experiencing a stomach ache for about 6 hours now. i would describe it as crampy/achy with some gas. no dietary intolerances that i know of. i ate chocolate milk and a bagel and then began to experience the symptoms. had period 1 week ago?

Accepted Answer

: This could be simple indigestion. Worrisome symptoms would be worsening&amp; steady pain with nausea and vomiting as well as a distended,tender abdomen. If your abdomen feels gassy, don't force belching as you'll only swallow more air. Instead apply heat to the abdomen,drink some hot water to break down gas &amp; allow it to be passed rectally. If no improvement, proceed to the ER where prompt care is ava

Question 3

cant drink milk, but can eat milk chocolate. do i have.lactose intolerance?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Lact intol is digestive issue, not allergy. Less milk sugar in milk chocolate. High sugar and fat content slows down stomach emptying, slows down load of milk sugar (lactose) to small intestine, less likely to overload it.  Whole milk better tolerated than skim; mixed meal better than milk alone; yogurt/kefir  better than reg milk (bacteria digest some lactose); hard cheese better than e.g. Cott.

Question 5

allergy, intolerance, or viral? i get vertigo when i eat nuts, chocolate and caffeine, and basic dizziness from other foods. started after shingles.

Accepted Answer

Labyrinthitis: Depending on which nerve root was affected by your shingles outbreak, you may have "irritated" nerves that innervate the labyrinth, or balance centers of the ears.  If shingles was not a case of the head and neck area, then i recommend a simple blood test such as imunocap, which tests for food allergies, thus helping you identify allergies directly and minimize your exposure to them.

Question 6

had ice cream saturday night, had mac & cheese for lunch sunday & hot chocolate made with milk sunday night. today i'm bloated, gassy & have some abdominal discomfort. could consuming multiple diary products for 2 days cause a flare up of intolerance?

Bloating : Dairy products, especially those that are high in fat can cause a reduced movement of food through your intestinal tract. This results in the bloating, gas formation, uncomfortable sensations. Also high fat meals, can stimulate the gallbladder, and if there are stones in the gallbladder or it can cause discomfort as well. Important to see your doctor to help determine what exactly is happening.
