Info Needed on Lactose Intolerance....

[redfathom]

So I know I need to see my doctor, but until I can do that I thought I would post here.

 

I think I may be Lactose Intolerant. Warning: TMI!!!!

 

I get the runs usually about four times a week, and gas a lot (more at night). I also have been very bloated and for the past two weeks have has severe gas cramps. My stool varies from the runs one day to consitpated the next, but usually the runs.

 

Yesterday I stayed away from dairy and seemed okay. Today I had cream cheese and crackers about four hours ago then a blue cheese salad about 1.5 hours ago, about 45 min ago, I got a gurgling stomach, gas and cramps and the runs.

 

Is anyone on here Lactose Intolerant and if so does this match the discription?

 

My doctor recently said I have GERD, but he did not run any tests he just told me to take Prilosec. At night I get major heard burn and I have to burp for like an hour before and while I am trying to go to bed. I can't sleep lying down or on my right side or I feel like I will vomit.

 

Pretty much everyday I have something wrong with my stomach and I hate it.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
