Hi, I sure can relate to your lactose intolerance. I have IBS and lactose intolerance too. I have given up on dairy products all together. Lactaid pills, lactulose drops, lactaid milk- forget it. I do believe there is a strong correlation between IBS and lactose intolerance. I have lived with mine since 1982. I have found that by staying regular the symptoms are not as severe. I faithfully take Perdiem at night and in the am and limit myself to a piece of pizza occasionally. I also take 1000mg of calcium a day since I don't get any through my diet. I hope this helps, hang in there.
