I’ve been lactose intolerant for the past 10 years.
I loved eating ice cream as a kid & I had milk all the time.
I never had any concerns until many years ago. I had a lot of concerns with my stomach & I went to the dentist. The dentist told me that I was lactose intolerant. I thought it was bizarre to develop this concern after spending half of my life drinking milk, but the dentist said this is common. I’ve done my best to stay away from ice cream & milk, but last evening I had ice cream before I went to bed. My lady & I went out for supper & there was a current gelato sit by the eating establishment. I wanted to try the gelato, even though I knew it had dairy. I thought a small amount would not hurt my stomach, however I was wrong. I woke up the next morning & I had disappointing pains in my stomach. I could barely transport & I felt angry. I was perspiring & shaking & I felt awful. I was supposed to go to work & help with a oil furnace replacement task, however I couldn’t get out of bed. I called my boss & begged him to send someone else to help with the oil furnace replacement task. I rarely have concerns that keep me from performing my task as a heating maintenance worker, so my boss knew it was something serious. I spent most of the day in bed with shivers & chills… Next time I believe about eating dairy, I will remember how bad I felt.
