My weight dropped to 6st before I discovered I was lactose intolerant.

When I was 16 I suffered with stomach cramps so severe that I was doubled over in pain. My doctor told me I had a tummy bug and to stick to a liquid diet for a few days, which is where my weight loss began.
After quite a few unsuccessful visits back to the doctor I decided to try an elimination diet and managed to pinpoint my problem to milk. I then asked my doctor to arrange blood tests which revealed lactose intolerance. So now whenever my doctor prescribes me any medication I insist that it is soluble so that there is no chance of a lactose coating.
Since then, things have been even easier thanks to the discovery of Lactofree…I only wish there was a Lactofree ice cream!
