I might have to find a dietician myself. I think I've narrowed down at
least one of my stomach problems diagnosed as IBS. Such a generic term.
After the white lasagna which was loaded with dairy, I think I have
lactose intolerance. I know, I know, everyone self diagnoses. But
within a half hour of eating that dairy enriched meal, I was cramping
and had diarrhea all night and the next morning. I'm going to cut out
dairy for a week or so, then gradually introduce it back in to find out.
It will be hard because I love cheese.
