Our eldest has the same when she has cream, doesnt stop her scoffing cake and cream though!!

Go the doctors.

 

lactose intolerance is usually inherited, so unless you have a family history it's unlikely you are spontaniously developing it. Also certaion races, Asians and Chinese, tend to have more lactose intolerance. I think if you've not had a problem up to now and no family history, it's unlikely. Could be some other underlying cause though, so you could go and see your doctor if symptoms persist.

Of course, it could just be that you were a greedy bastard that day and with advancing years are paying the price....

Yea I read that, but as far as I can remember every time it has happened I have been 'pigging out' on creamy stuff beforehand. I dont have a history of lactose intolerance, and I was a milk fiend when I was a kid (I dont know if that would have helped or not). A trip to the docs is definitely in order... I'm just your typical man when it comes to the docs, I never go unless I'm dying.

And yea, the "I'm getting old" thought did pass through my mind... still I'm young compared to some of you lot

 

Have you had your gallbladder removed by chance?

Nice fried gently with butter, guaranteed to give you indigestion!

 

If you're going to replace milk with any substitute for whole, try oat milk. Its the closest thing I've found to full fat.

Nope.

My Dad had digestive problems, but not specifically lactose intolerance, and his alcohol consumption could probably explain most of it. But I do have bad acid stomach when I eat badly, which he also had.

Maybe could be linked.

Playing doctor is fun

it's a funny thing though...when I, gut my self stupid, like you did that night I always get indigestion...never used to when I was in my 20s. Now I have the same appetite, but if I am stupid enough to indulge it...feel like I might be dying after.

 

Definitely stomach?

i was doubled up a couple of years ago - hellish painful one night.

Rushed to hospital and it was a tiny kidney stone !!

not drinking enough water did it for me with a prolonged hot spell.

I try to take a couple of good glasses a day now at least ....

 

Many folk who can't tolerate cows milk get on with sheep's milk. It just tastes like creamy cows milk (no awful goat like flavours) and can be frozen quite successfully.

Had a partner who was cow lactose intolerant. The long chain lipids irritated her gut allowing particles of food (rather than nutrients) into her bloodstream. Only way to deal with these invaders was with an immune response. The health transformation on switching to sheep dairy (much shorter chain lipids) was compelling.

And I can vouch for sheep's dairy being as good if not better than cows. Not sure one can say the same for other milk substitutes.

It was more the top of my stomach area, I don't know where the pain originates from with a kidney stone but I thought it was lower?

 

You're right D

it was lower stomach and eventually into groin as the particles moved ...

wincing at the memory !!

hope you are okay and find out what it is

lighty

 

You can buy lactose free milk in tesco and coop, my wife has to have it and so by default so do I. It's called... Wait for it... Lactofree!

It works ok for steaming as well

 

I haven't been to the doc yet, but I drank a liter of milkshake the other day to see if it made my stomach hurt but it didn't... so who knows. Need some free time to go to the docs.

All in the name of science I'm sure...

if it was from a certain crappy bugger chain then it will have had very little milk in it, the main constituent parts are potato starch, corn syrup and chemicals, old school friend used to work in labs producing food for them, the best one is that the bits of "apple" in their apple pies were swede because apple breaks down to pulp at the cooking temps they wanted to use

 

It was a yazoo

 

your not lactose intolerant then as its 95% milk

 

Could it be the sugar or the fat in what you have had that has upset you ??

 

Gluten maybe? Although you'd probably be suffering much more often

 

It could be just about anything if its an allergy/intolerance. But as Dave said earlier your chances are much smaller if there is no history in your family and I'm pretty sure my family have never had any allergies/intolerances of any kind.

 

Prob have touch of IBS mate. The body isn't great at dealing with sudden dietary imbalances. Try some peppermint tablets for a few weeks and see how you get on. [emoji106]

Hope you feel better soon.
