A member asked:

I was lactose intolerant when i was a baby and it seem to go away but i believe it has came back what do it do for the sickness?

Avoid it: If you cramp or have loose stools only after consuming lactose containing material (bovine milk, ice cream, etc.)you may have lactose intolerance. If so, you avoid it or ingest the lactase enzyme (lactaid pills) prior to consuming it. There are other reasons people cramp or pass loose stools, so you may want to check with your doc.
