Talk to Me About Healing Lactose Intolerance
1 - 7 of 7 Posts
My half-brother was diagnosed lactose intolerant by an ND (using applied kinesiology) and a year or so later, cured of it by her with some new form of .. totally blanking on the name... and he can drink/eat as much dairy as he wants now. It's an acronym and oh... my memory is shot. Sorry. I'll come back later when I can think of it. But first I'd figure out if I was lactose intolerant or milk intolerant, because they're two different things.

I don't actually know if it is lactose intolerance or casein intolerance or some other milk intolerance. Its my fdh. He can eat butter, and tiny amounts of certain hard cheeses without feeling sick. Anything more (such as pizza) gives him a stomach ache and digestion issues (constipation or the runs, I don't know, he is embarrassed talking about it). Of course, he likes eating dairy and does so often.
Between the ease of being able to eat dairy, the fact that he likes it and the fact that my cooking is very heavy on the dairy (though mostly butter, (ok, and a lot of cream and cheese), it would be so great for him to be able to eat it again. If he can't, he can't, and I can accept that and change my cooking, but I'm not resigned to no more cream sauce yet lol, since he hasn't tried anything to heal it, and his diet has been moderately decent in terms of healthy, but gut flora health poor his whole life. (Its something I'm working on for me, and just starting to, improving my gut flora, so he'll likely at the very least catch some good effects from it. plus, from a flavor standpoint, the man would be delighted if I served homemade kraut and kimchee with every meal, which makes it easier.)

How though? I mean, general good gut bacteria increase, or any specifics? sort of a general healing the gut thing, or something specific?

There's a study out there that links celiac gut damage to lactose intolerance, and cutting out all traces of gluten brought back the ability to digest lactose.

If it's a lactose intolerance, then yogurt would probably be fairly well tolerated. Symptoms tend to be more in the tummyache/gassy area. If it's casein, then ghee and maybe butter would be it. Symptoms could be just about anything. In either case, fermented dairy would do better than non fermented - fermenting makes the casein easier to digest and eats up the lactose.

A form of NAET -- AAT (and of course I don't remember what it stands for though it was in that NAET/JMT thread).
If he can do butter and hard cheeses, then that does point to lactose, doesn't it? I can't remember the chart now. You can look up lactose amounts in food and it'll tell you high and low. They also make pills to help you digest lactose (not sure if they're just digestive enzymes or what). But why doesn't he cut it out for a couple weeks and see if it helps? And what is an FDH (former dear husband)? I'm not familiar with that abbrev. sorry.
