| Sorry for tmi. 2 plus weeks of diarrhea after every meal for no apparent reason. What should I eliminate first and how long do I wait for results? I sure hope it's not lactose b/c I can't eat fish and only eat poultry for meat and get most of my protein from dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese). BTW I am almost 50 and have heard food intolerances can develop in perimenopause. TIA |

| Try dairy first because you will see results quicker. If it's gluten it could take six weeks before you see a change. |

I would try lactose first. It is more common. |

| Get to a doctor. Two weeks of constant diarrhea indicates illness. It is highly improbable that you suddenly became severely allergic to either. You could have an infection. |

| Yes, I had several weeks of diarrhea and it turned out to be a parasite. |
