Okay so I'm definitely not lactose intolerant because I can have yogurt and ice cream, BUT milk makes me feel horrible.. What gives??? I was a huge milk lover Pre surgery and now I've tried it twice since surgery and can't stand it, nor can I stand almond or soy any ideas or suggestions?

Yep 13th generation Cajun and proud! Food has been a major player in my life thus far so I'm trying to adjust. :-)

Married to a coonass here!

When you make yogurt, the probiotic bacteria eat up the lactose in milk and form yogurt. That's why plain yogurt is so sour... because the bacteria have eaten all the sweet lactose! This is how you can tell the difference between lactose intolerence and an actual milk allergy. Lactose intolerent people can have yogurt. Milk allergy sufferere cannot.

Good to know!
