A Welcome Relief!

A Welcome Relief!

Posted on 18/06/2009

For years I have suffered from bloating, stomach cramps, severe gas and stomach upsets and I wasn’t really sure why. It recently got a lot worse and I realised I had to find out what was causing it. I started a food diary and noticed that it always happened when I ate products containing lactose.

I immediately searched on the internet for lactose intolerance and found all my symptoms on the list. And then I found the Lactofree website! I read about the elimination diet and decided it was worth a go. Two weeks later, I’m a changed woman. I ate a couple of things in the two weeks that I later found out contained lactose (chorizo sausage – would never have expected that!) and I was ill. Today was my 1st day of the third week – 1g of lactose. Half an hour later, stomach not good at all.

So, because of Lactofree, I finally discovered what was wrong with me! It’s really changed my life. And the products that are available have made me feel really happy about it rather than disheartened, because I love the cheese and the milk makes great hot chocolate (with lactose-free chocolate powder of course!).

Thank you, Lactofree. I look forward to even more products. Chocolate mousse please?

I suffered from being a child with my nose & throat then my stomach. I have even had an operation on my nose to try and solve my problem. I done a test through an advert in a magazine 9 years ago. This confirmed I had an intolerance to dairy products & eggs, and also a mild intolerance to wheat & yeast. I stopped all dairy immediately with instant changes. Now if I eat any dairy at all I start immediately with flu like symptons then stomach problems the following day. I have already found some lactose free products but will try all Arla's products asap. Thanking You Linda
