PI-IBS & Lactose free milk.

Two months ago I got food posioning from a curry; a month I was dizzy and puked only twice.

Now it's my guts - Dr says it's most likely PI-IBS as I've had blood tests to rule out coeliacs etc.

At first it was bloating and stomach pain, but now I never get the stomach pain or spasms - I'm hoping its me improving.

I'm day two of low fodmap and have opted to lactose free milk over normal milk as it really messes me up - but as of after eating breakfast I had Diarrhea which is unusual for me as Ive always had more firm BM's than loose my whole life.

I had some lactose free milk the night before so I'm thinking that dairy is just a huge no-go for me. I know its early to tell but I'm just going to go cold turkey on it.

I'm also going to cut out wheat best as I can just incase I have an intolerence.

Anyone with similar experiences?

Re lactose intolerance. The enzyme lactase is produced in the micro villi of the gut. So once the lining heals itself after food poisoning your body can start producing lactase enzyme to break down lactose. You could take a couple of supplements which can support this. A good probiotic and L Glutamine which can aid gut healing.
