Can being lactose intolerant cause periferal neuropathy?

Lactose Intolerance: Lactose intolerance is a condition in which there is a lack of enzyme to digest a sugar called lactose. Common symptoms are diarrhea, bloating and flatulence. It would be extremely unusual to see neuropathy as a result of this condition. You can find out more about the condition here: http://www.Laendo.Net/english/lactose-intolerance-31309766.

Possibly: Lactose intolerance can lead to decrease absorption in certain proteins and calcium then increasing your risk for gastritis. You are then placed on Omeprazole maybe in part for this reason. The Omeprazole can decrease the absorption of iron and magnesium. Chronic inflammation of the stomach decreases the body'y ability to absorb b12. This definitely can give a peripheral neuropathy.
