I know I'm lactose intolerant so I normally drink Lactaid but lately every time I try to even drink that I get super nauseas.  Has this ever happened to anyone else?  I haven't tried Soy milk yet but this will be my next purchase to see if it helps.  I was just wondering if I was the odd ball here!

Yes, this has happend to me in the past before I started taking the primadophilus reuteri, now that I take it everyday I no longer have to use lactaid pills/products.

Do you think the Pro-Bio I started taking recently will do the same thing as the primadophilus reuteri (wow, to even know how to spell that word consistantly is awesome! lol)? I am normally not a milk drinker anyway since I don't really like milk much, but I like to have a bowl of cereal on occasion.

oooo, ooooo.....try Rice Dream with cereal...awesome!
Soy has..well..soy. If you have any estrogen related flares, I'd nix it.
Plus, soy produces gassssss, for me anyway.

Rice dream...vanilla... + cereal....yummmmm.

I don't know...I've heard that any probiotic is suppose to aid with lactose intolerance but that info could be off...it might depend on exactly which strain is in the probiotic in order to aid with certain things, I know with the primadophilus (when you spell it as often as I do it comes naturally anymore LOL) it states that it aids with lactose intolerance, high cholesterol and vaginal health...must be because of the certain strains of good bacteria that's in it.

Hmmm yes I definately do have estrogen related flares so I guess I should not drink soy milk then?

Pb, how long was it that you were on your probiotic before you noticed you can tolerate dairy again?

The lactaid pills are very upsetting to me, as is the soy milk.  Have you tried goats/sheep milk as most (not all) lactose intolerant sould are only upset by cow dairy.  This has been my strategy.

good luck,

No I haven't tried goats milk yet. Does it taste like regular milk or does it have a "funky" flavor?

It definetly has a sweeter taste to me, but I wouldn't call it funky.  Also be careful in trying it.  Some people benefit greatly by going to goat and sheep products but not all.  So start slowly and test this theory.

I hope it woks for you, as it gave me pizza back into my diet.

best of the best and love

Goats milk tasted pretty good to me when I used to buy it...

Sherry I can't say for sure because when I first started the probiotic I was still taking my lactaid pills when needed because I didn't realize that the probiotic aided with lactose intolerance...a few months later when I discovered this is when I stopped using the lactaid...what a savings in money that became...lactaid pills are pretty pricy.

I had to go to the health food store anyway so I picked up a small thing of goats milk. It might be ok in cereal but by itself, it leaves a funny after taste in my mouth. I had my son first try it to be my guinea pig - he's not lactose intolerant - and he gave the funniest look lol.

I have used the Lactaid 100 nonfat & 1% fat milk for yrs with no problems, but the Lactaid tablets gave me a nasty spell of burning sensation across my transverse colon-- so I gave up on them entirely after a couple tries. Your nausea may be from something else, though. Try a little Lactaid after eating something else that you know agrees with you. Also, be sure it is stored in the coolest part of fridge because it can spoil. / Old Hat (nearly 30 yrs with left-sided UC ... [etc.])
