There are many other products available in the dairy line that are Lactose Free or Lactose Friendly. I have just written one cookbook and I am now working on another. These cookbooks are adapted recipes for people who are Gluten Free, Lactose Intolerant, Diabetic, Dairy Free, Vegan, Vegetarian or for people who have my medical complicated condition. I have Fructose Malabsorption which means I am intolerant to Fructose, Fructans, Polyols (sugar alcohols) and Galactans (GOS). This condition has been known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and most of the medical profession only treat a part of it with diet; however, the parts that they don't know about would kill me slowly in a few months due to the affects caused by the food that they want me to eat. This has been carefully watched and recorded by my doctor who I have been seeing for the past 15 years. I was lucky to have been told of this complicated medical condition by a surgeon who performed an Endoscopy on me three years ago. The research I did and the change in my diet has helped me and my cookbook was written to help other people with other Intolerances. I know a little about some of the issues because my family and friends suffer from them. One of my grandsons is Lactose intolerant. I am 64 years old and was diagnosed with IBS back in the early 1970s, so I have lived all my life with this condition and the symptoms and now I finally have it under control. A test they did five years ago came back stating that I was a Type 2 Diabetic (diet controlled) and this is also now under control. If you would like to know more about these issues, I would be glad to answer questions but I AM NOT QUALIFED in anything; all I know is what my research has taught me and the information on the net can be conflicting. I have cooked many of the recipes in the cookbook and have enjoyed them and so have many other people who came back for more and ended up becoming my taste testers.
