This may not help much, but you should be able to use yogurt (after

cautiously trying it out) since the lactose is gone. This will give you

smoothies, certain breads, and broaden your horizons somewhat.

If you're really desperate, you may want to try NAET to get rid of this

allergy.

OTOH, someone who's been struggling with Crohn's and other issues for

years told me that on SCD he's been able to eat foods that were off

limits for years. Could be with some time on SCD your allergies will ease

up.

I assume if you're here it's for some form of IBD. Are you on meds at

all?

Take care, Fay

Marilyn,

What type of dairy have you been eating and is the loose stool the only

symptom?

A true dairy allergy can be very serious, but that would be a true IgE allergy

that causes anaphylaxis.
