[quote=Anonymous] In the US, I can’t have dairy. I get cramps, gas, bloating, nausea, and worst of all, unpredictable bowel urgency and diarrhea if I have dairy. I have always assumed I was lactose intolerant, but even the lactase pills don’t help much. I just avoid it all together. I have been diagnosed with IBS-C as well.

I married into a family from Europe. My husband has a lot of extended family who live in Spain and France. They live in smaller towns, not major cities. “Non-dairy” is not a thing when we visit.

When we first started visiting them after we were married, I just steeled myself for digestive issues. But it was … fine. More than fine. I ate yogurts, cheeses, food soaked in butter, everything put before me because it’s rude to refuse. But nothing happened. If anything I was more settled digestively than I ever am back home in the US.

I tried dairy after the trips back in the US and it was a disaster.

This has now happened enough that I am positive it is a pattern. I go there, I eat a ton of dairy, everything is fine. I tried even the smallest slice of cheese here, and I have to run to the bathroom. Organic or non-organic doesn’t seem to matter, I’ve tried.

What is going on with US dairy? I literally think it’s got some sort of poison now. What element causes this? I want to know if I can isolate the trigger.  [/quote]
