Just want to know whether or not I'm crazy. Certain foods I can't eat first thing in the morning. Dairy is the biggest one, I'm not lactose intolerant but if I drink milk within a few hours of waking up I'm gassy the rest of the day. I usually eat a light breakfast like toast or bagels on school days because I can't handle a lot.

What does it mean, "I'm not lactose intolerant usually". I thought this was a black and white issue. I don't have breakfast at all on weekdays, although that's probably not good for my overall health, but it does help with my UC.

Sorry I'm not lactose intolerant as in dairy usually doesn't cause a problem for me but I just can't handle it first thing in the morning. Just a poor choice of wording.

Still seems kind of weird that you can handle dairy at other times of the day but not in the morning, not that I'm doubting you. It would be interesting to know why exactly that is. Maybe there is a clue there somewhere. Maybe you can't handle dairy on an empty stomach but the rest of the day it is ok. Still seems like if you had a problem with it you would have a problem with it all of the time. Is it possible you have a different kind of dairy in the morning than the rest of the day?
