ok well i get head aches a lot so that might not be anything
but i always get gassy and today i thought i would try to see if i did anything if i wouldn't eat dairy and i feel fine now, no gas or nasuea

That definitely sound like you're lactose intolerant. Little known fact, most adults above 23 are. Most of them just don't have symptoms bad enough to bother them. We're really only supposed to have dairy as children. There's no growing out of it I'm afraid, but there is an enzyme or amino acid that you can take to keep it at bay. Ask your doctor about it. Some of the medicines they have out there: Lactase, Lactaid (comes in extra strength too!) and Dairyaid.
No worries, you'll still be able to at ice cream!!! :)

Yes, that's definitely it. So many of my friends have it.. it's strange, that in my group of friends we're not really a minority :p


But I'd suggest either staying away from dairy, but if you do want dairy try taking a lactate pill before you eat. Lactose intolerance is caused by your body not making an enzyme that breaks down the dairy, and that pill is a supplement for the enzyme.

possibly, they do have some lactaid pills in the pharmacy section. Try some and see if it improves...If you can't find it, ask for someone to show you whre its at.

Ok i'm lactose intolerant but i don't get headaches when i drink milk or have yogurt the only side effect i have is farting a little more often. But also i don't feal like puking thats a little major type of lactose intolerant mines minor. Well to find a way to get rid of it is to hope you out grow it in the future.
