I have a milk and lactose intolerence. Any protiens sugar found in cows milk and cows milk senda me aeriously ill if taken for a period of a few days. I ended up in hospital every few months and on the drip from vomiting sever abdominal cramps and dehydration and sometimes infections. I had this for two and a half
Years before finding out. Never got taken seriously as they could never find anything wrong git told to eat wich made it worse when i was ill and i vomited each time. When i came to hospital everytime i had to explain again i couldnt eat but to be made to and vomit again. Only after a few days of not eating would i get well. Eventually just before christmas i found i have a milk and lactoae allergy. I got given a peracription for an anal pessary when i was pregnant wich contained lactoae from this male doctor. We argued over phone as i was worried being pregnant and didnt want to end up in hospital or in pain but he said it only contained a little lactose and wont do me harm. It upset me that i had to fight and hormones etc but i eventually got one without lactose. I have had my child and for some months got a lumo in my throat. Im on levothyroxine for my thryroid and it contains lactose wich i was unaware of and get fullness alot. So i recently went back to my doctors to mention this but yet again got told it contains only little amount of lactose.... i said i was bad with any... my perscription didnt het change to one without lactose even though i will be on this for life... any how he perscribed me medication for my ibs instead which contains lactose!.... :( im just sad im not being taken seriously. I asked for a dietition from this same doctor a while ago but got refused.
