    I don't know though I eat all kinds of dairy products without any problem except when I drink milk it produces gas. Though milk consumption in my family is very low at around 40 litres per head annually as pure milk is not available in the market.

    Repetitive bloating means that you are lactose intolerant.

    I voted “yes” because I reckon milk doesnt do me good. Yet, I can eat lactose derivates like cheese with no major issues. Also, in 23andme I got “high chances to be lactose intolerant”. I believe Im somewhere in the middle.

    I aswered it wrong, I am lactose tolerant, but because I am celiac, i can't drink milk or ear dairy products, since it is an inflamatory food.

    Cheese doesn't have lactose, it turned into lactic acid to become cheese (only fresh cheese like cottage cheese does because it didn't have time to mature).

    You can check the lactose content of cheese by looking at the carb section on the label.

    Aged cheese like Parmesan usually has less than 1% carbs, this is the lactose content.

    No, I've never had any problems with drinking milk and eating dairy products from both cows and goats.

    But like a lot of British people, I have stomach problems when it comes to eating very hot and spicy foods, which people have more tolerance to in countries such as India and Mexico and Thailand. I can only handle mild (korma) curries, but certainly not madras or vindaloo strength or hot chilli sauces... otherwise it just causes a burning sensation of the lips, tongue, and throat, eyes start watering, slight wheeziness, along with intense stomach pains and upsets.

    An Englishman tried to eat a hot chilli crisp on TV... and his eyes started streaming and his voice went raspy at 3:07 in the video, he said his mouth and throat were burning, his skin started sweating, his hands started trembling at 5:24, and then within minutes at 7:55 he soon felt stomach pains and sickness, before he swallowed a glass of cool milk at 8:24 to try to stop the burning in his stomach:


    A female sociologist teacher who I'm friendly with in London is half Vietnamese, and she suffers from lactose intolerance and has osteoporosis, and she's very thin and frail with brittle bones. She said that she has to take calcium supplements daily, but she said that unfortunately the lactose-free calcium tablets are not of same quality of calcium that comes from dairy products.

    She explained that the reason why I'm not intolerant to lactose is because over many generations, my English, Irish, and Welsh ancestors developed an enzyme in our bodies that makes us able to tolerate the grass and digest the cows milk.

    Although I am diagnosed as Anaphylactic and have to carry life-saving emergency adrenaline injections with me everywhere that I go.



    A food intolerance is different to Anaphylaxis and has different symptoms - and Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, whereas food intolerances tends to just cause a stomach upset or nausea.

    The cause of my allergy is still not known - despite lots of blood tests in hospital, but I can eat almost anything (nuts, seeds, wheat, honey, rice, fish, dairy products, etc, and I have no problems with latex and pets,) without having sudden breathing difficulties (except for very hot and spicy foods - which causes a stomach upset rather than a full-on allergic reaction,) and I also have intolerance problems with anything that's very acidic, such as citrus fruits, (I can only handle small amounts - no more than 1/4 of a small orange or grapefruit, and preferably diluted fruit juices that's not from concentrate,) - which also causes me to have painful stomach upsets (intolerance.)

    I'm convinced that it's the chemicals in air freshener sprays that triggers a severe allergic reaction in me, causes my face to suddenly go red, causes the lining in my throat to swell and tighten, causes me to have heart palpitations, and causes sudden difficulty in talking and breathing. I've noticed a pattern as I only have those reactions shortly after people have sprayed strong chemical sprays into a room, and I always get headaches and feel sick whenever electric plug-in scent diffusers are used in rooms (which also contain strong chemicals.) The headaches and sick feeling goes away within an hour of so after the plug-ins are switched off. I'm fine though with natural aromatherapy oils.

    The last time I had an Anaphylactic shock (which happened within minutes of someone spraying something into a room,) my throat started swelling and suddenly felt sore, I struggled to speak and couldn't finish sentences, and then I couldn't say any words at all, my breathing felt tight, my face went red, and I felt weak and dizzy... despite feeling well and fine before the sudden reaction, and paramedics injected me three times in my arms and leg to try to calm the symptoms down and gave me an oxygen mask which helped, and I had to stay wired-up on monitors in hospital for 24 hours observation incase of a secondary reaction as a precaution. Then I was told to take antihistamines and a few other pills they gave me each day for the following week.



    There was an Anaphylactic man in London who had an allergy to nuts which killed him. He attended a party and explained his nut allergy beforehand, and they made sure that his food wouldn't contain nuts. However, his food was prepared in a room where nut traces had been present - even though nuts weren't directly used in his food, and his sensitivity to this caused him to have sudden breathing difficulties, his face and lips and throat swelled up, his skin went clammy and he started scratching himself, his heart started beating fast in panic, and his face went red and then blue as he struggled to talk and breathe. He injected himself with two EpiPens and was rushed to hospital, recovered for 12 hours, but tragically died in hospital the following day from a secondary reaction.

    If I'm standing in a shop, for example, and someone starts spraying aerosols, I just cover my mouth and nose, try to hold my breath for a short while and quickly move away, so I don't inhale the chemicals which irritates my throat.

    TL;DR: No lactose intolerance, but intolerance to very hot/spicy foods and can only handle small amounts of citrus fruits, and have anaphylactic reactions to certain chemicals in aerosol sprays.

    I make homemade kefir at my home, I buy the kefir grain from a Georgian lady in the market when it rarely dies.

    It's the best way to consume dairy for the health benefits, everyone should give it a shot.

    PS. There is no lactose in kefir, the kefir grain eats it and turns it into very potent lactic acid.
