Re: Lactose intolerance - gas?

[Guest guest]

Joann...

I take Dairy Care for the lactose intolerance. It works very well. But

I wanted to mention to you that I get the very gas pattern you describe

when I eat wheat products, especially breads. The gas is not as bad if

I take some Beano with the bread but I find it's best if I just stay

away from breads most of the time.

You might try eliminating some things from your diet to see if the gas

goes away when you eliminate a particular food. Wheat and gluten

sensitivity are not uncommon after the DS.

Good luck....
