Answer

Answer

I was sensitive to lactose before getting pregnant but it didn’t really bother me so long as I didn’t drink a full glass of milk or a bowl of ice cream. After having the baby I’m fully lactose intolerant.

Answer

I don’t know all the symptoms but I was lactose intolerant as a baby and grew out of it and my mom became lactose intolerant when she had me.

Answer

My son had an intolerance so I had to cut out lactose while breast feeding. I tried to reintroduce into my diet after a year and got violently ill (vomit diarrhea, rashes). I introduced it to him in small amounts with food and he has looser stool with it still but nothing worse. I’ve always been sensitive and have finally gotten to the point and overall have switched to plant based everything. I still get the brain fog and have sleeping issues if I have a little though, like bread with milk or a sauce.

I ended up with GD in my first pregnancy with my little girl and was told dairy is my best friend (especially cheese) so I ate tons and I mean tons of it! However after I gave birth I tried cheese on toast and my god the stomach ache the sweats the diarrhoea!!!!!!! It was only after it happening a few times I went and spoke to my GP about it and underwent a tolerance test 8 days later it came back I was dairy intolerant 😳 I never ever though eating to much could have that outcome but yeah here I am 18 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 another GD pregnancy dairy being my bestfriend but not being able to eat it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I believe I did after I had my son. Basically you know how in pregnancy you get bad gas that gets trapped in your chest or your back? Well I would get that a lot after pregnancy and I never knew why and then noticed it was usually when I ate things like alfredo sauce, ice cream, etc. I would get super burp-y and like an upset stomach and some reflux at times. So I just try to limit it a little bit and use lactaid tablets as well. One of my grandmothers was lactose intolerant but she passed before I had my son so I dont know if she was always that way or if she picked up the sensitivity later on 🥴

Answer

I have had to cut out dairy about year after I had my 3rd baby. I never thought that that would happen because of being pregnant. But maybe. My family is known for being allergic to a lot of things and it can show up later in life. I was about 32. I’ve never felt dizzy my main symptoms are gas, diarrhea, nasal congestion, and headaches. I have been avoiding it completely for about a year now and accidentally had an ice cream I thought was dairy free but it was not. That night with in an hour of eating it I had a upset stomach and by morning I had a horrible headache and nausea. It whipped me out almost all day. So I do my very best to avoid it at all cost I really don’t want to change that again. 
I did go to the dr for stomach pain a year ago and she told me I could just be very constipated. And said that women deal with this more than you think pregnancy being part of it. I never got tested to see if I’m truly allergic but she said it’s very likely since I react so bad.  
She also said to drink ￼ 90 ounces of water a day exercise for 30 minutes a day and take a probiotic  and get more ￼fiber in my diet. 
Hope that helps

Answer

It may be the cow casein rather than the lactose in cow milk that is bothering you. It makes my brain feel foggy. Many babies are intolerant to cow casein, resulting in eczema, GI issues, or what some chalk up to "colic." My baby was intolerant to cow casein, and after I completely eliminated dairy from my diet, I myself felt much better.
