Did I cure my lactose intolerance?
For about a year now, I have had horrible gas, and never knew what it was from. I mean stabbing horrible pains in my stomach until I could finally "let loose". This has actually been going on for probably 2 years actually.
One week a few months back, I would wake up and have the most painful stomach cramps known to man in the mornings and have to use the bathroom IMMEDIATELY. TMI sorry. I cut out ALL dairy and was completely fine. I was so happy. My next step was going to be gluten, as I thought I might have been gluten intolerant.
If I was going to have cream sauce or pizza, I'd pop a few Lactaid pills and I'd still be ok. If I had ice cream though, I would still have a bad morning. But for the most part, I'd be fine but have a few bouts of bad (horrible smelling) gas.
Since low carbing earlier this week, I've been able to eat cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, etc. without any bad side effects.
Is it possible my body has "healed"??
From what I began reading after I found out I was lactose intolerant, I realized that we don't really need dairy at all past a certain age and for the most part came to grips with it. I still don't *need* dairy, but its nice to not have to say "no cheese" when I order things now.
