Avoid them: If your body says no, believe it ! Lactose intolerance is a simple enzyme deficiency which can be overcome by adding the enzyme. Your symptoms points to a food intolerance based otherwise, and may be allergy. (egg,milk) Neither are required for a normal life. You can replace the nutrients from either with other foods/fluids.
