I had been suffering from digestion problems for a long time, it caused me a lot of stresses already not to mention embarrassment when I start to fart in the crowd. But passing gas for me is hard especially when I am sitting down. So when I want not to be disturbed when I am doing something I just don't eat.

Today I did a small experiment to determine one and for all if ice cream makes me fart and a lot. So after eating ice cream there it is, a few minutes after I was passing gas until a few hours after. So it is concluded that I am just lactose intolerant, I cannot digest lactose which is a kind of sugar and in turn it is fermented in my guts by bacteria and thereby it produces gas.

It is just surprising how fast gas is formed in my guts as I was passing gas immediately even though I am not finished yet in my eating. I may also have a problem in digesting certain sugars in my food, maybe even rice. But now I know via my experiment that certain foods that contain lactose makes me feel ill and for now I will just try to avoid these foods.

I may try a food supplement that contain a live lactobacilli and I will also experiment on it and if it does help me that will be a good thing and it will make my life better by eliminating the cause of some of my medical issues that makes me ill. My mother also has some issues with milk and other dairy products so if this experiment works then it will also benefit her as well.

Lactos digestion is eseential thibg for energyzing the body. I just wish things are back to normal soon for you . pls see a doctor for medical assitance. If your body can digest protein,it will be good to take that now to get energy for respiration.

Hi, how long have you been with Dialysis?

So sorry that you won't be able to enjoy ice cream. Maybe there is ice cream made with soy. All the best!

Hoping that your food experiment will works well with you so it can help you even bit. God bless you always @cryptopie

@cryptopie try to limit the intake of milk, milk products or food that contain lactose. However, you also need to be aware of the fact that lactose and milk can be found not only in dairy products that we see daily, but also in many prepared foods including cream soups, cereals, non – dairy creamers and so on.

Apart from that, try some home remedies for lactose intolerance .
