MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

So I have known about my lactose intolerance for a few weeks now. I have done my best to deal with it and eat right but it is such a challange.

My symptoms like to come the next day after I eat wrong, usually in the morning.

It starts with my body getting hot, mostly around my neck, then I start to feel like I have been working out, my heart rate goes up, I get shaky at times and then the diarreah comes. This lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Any suggestions on how to treat these symptoms? I take mylanta and immodium now to treat it.

Also.. does the lactaid pills really work? Should I just take them when I go out even when I am not sure there is lactose in the food? Is there side effects to taking them when you dont need them?

Thanks

Stephanie
