Am I lactose intolerant?
Well I think I am. I've ALWAYS hated milk. When I just try to drink it, it makes me gag. But I've noticed that since I was maybe 8 I would feel sick after drinking milk. Today was the first day in A LONG TIME , that I've drank milk. My brother (evil boy lol) gave me a cup of milk to drink. I was in A rush and didn't notice after a big gulp, it was milk. And the stomach ache I had slowly start worse and worse. By lunch I couldn't even stand up. I went to the nurse and they gave me a heating pad. My stomach is making alot of noise and have gas. But the weird think is that I can eat like say pizza. I don't really like cheese, but when it's melted I or cooked I can eat it? Anyways do you think I'm lactose intolerant? 10 points B.A.

I was the same exact way before I was diagnosed as being lactose intolerant. To be honest, I never thought I was. I used to be able to drink milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. At first it was just stomacher pains and gas. But slowly it started to get worse, to the point where I would be extremely ill and couldn't go to school. We eventually went to the doctor, and I found out I was extremely lactose intolerant. For some reason, my stomacher slowly became unable to digest lactose. I now have to get extremely specific dairy products that are lactose free.
Moral of the story, you could be developing lactose intolerance. I would check with your doctor though, and ask him/her to do an allergy test. You could also wait it out to see if you begin to feel sick from things like ice cream, coffee creamer, etc or see if lactose free milk helps. Remember, not ALL dairy products have lactose in it, or have such a low amount that you won't feel sick. I can eat all cheese except for Mozeralla just fine.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
