I'm not lactose intolerant, but I am allergic to dairy. Which I didn't know for years, because by exposing myself to dairy daily my allergy symptoms were low grade. It wasn't until I started seeing a Naturopathic Doctor that she put me on an anti-inflammatory diet for a month so we could determine if I was allergic to anything. When we added dairy back into my diet, I broke out in hives and got a migraine. Once I got dairy out of my diet, my acid reflux (that I'd had for 9 years and had to take Prevacid to control) completely cleared up. I haven't had to take antacids since (more than 5 years now).
