I've just found out I'm lactose intolerant (after years of symptoms it's great to finally find out what is wrong). It means though that I have to stop buying dairy products - does anyone else have this problem and does it affect your lifestyle?

I know what you mean all my life I have had problems with food and it has taken 46yrs for a doctor to finally diagnose this was last year, doctors before would just say just stop eating that which makes you sick I'm like what everything, I didn't know anything about Coeliac disease before a friends daughter was diagnosed and she told me about all the symptoms LOL I had almost every one especially intolerance to dairy. My intolerance was from a baby my Mum used to give me goats milk because I couldn't take dairy and now the slightest dairy and well is not nice. I could not believe when a positive came back it all started to fit into place now the difficulties are trying to stretch the budget to buy gluten-free food especially when no dairy and curtain other fruit and veges I cannot take either I feel for anyone who has food intollerances or diseases is a tough road.
