Ok, I'll admit....
I am L.A.T (lactose intolerant), and I am NOT proud of it!
Recently I just figured out that I am. I have been bedridden for 2 days now.
On the 3rd of July I was stricken with severe pain in my stomach,
like thee most severe pain I have ever felt in my whole life.
I went to the E.R. and was forced with shots and medicines of every sort, but every doctor said that they could not figure out what the fuss was about.
Actually I was in so much pain that I begged my mother to take me to the E.R. just so that they could give me drugs so that I couldn't feel the pain!
They just diagnosed me with "acute abdominal pain...."
It was really scary, I thought that I was going to keel over and die....
Thank God I didn't.
So I was in the hospital off and on for 4 days and had some prescribed medicine. My symptoms were unexplainable and no one could still figure out why I was in as much pain as I was in.
The symptoms were pretty self-explainatory when you figure out what the cause of the sickness was in the first place, but I'll get to that conclusion later.
After that incident in July we were still never fully aware of what caused this, we only had ideas.
We thought maybe I was allergic to soy or maybe I was lactose intolerant or maybe I had food poisoning?
Until a couple of days ago, Monday night September 26th.
I will admit on that night that I was eating more than an average person does, but I thought that I just had food poisoning for some reason, until i backtracked what was really going on.
I thought about everything I ate and came to the conclusion that I though it was the whole milk that I randomly drank with cereal today. Ever since I stopped being sick in July I have been drinking Lactose milk, plus my G-ma drinks it so I started to and though that it was healthier for you anyway.
I never really realized that this Lactaid milk was acutally causing my tummy to stay n'sync with the rest of my body.
In my head it was more like, oh less fat, and more skim, and more sweet tasting.
Unitl I decided to share some cereal with my brother, he made the cereal and I ate it...unaware of what type of milk he poured, I ate it....ALL.
Well, as the night got crispier I started to notice that i was getting cramps in my stomach and was having bad tastes in my mouth.
I just thought well this is just because I ate alot tonight, until I woke up at 2 A.M. in severe pain, not knowing what caused it?
I jumped out of bed and waddled to my mom's room asking for prayer and medicine and just HELP!
Lucky enough, my mom is somewhat of a nurse, so she gave me some tums and other things to soothe my stomach.
I don't really think that it helped much, but in the end it definitely worked to some degree.
My mom had me go through what I had eaten today that could've caused this horrific hysteria in the night.
The she remembered how I have been drinking Lactaid milk and asked me what kind of milk my brother used.
Gahh.... Now I understand, it was that whole milk!
So there you have it folks, Milk is one of my food enemies whether I want to except it or not!
So I have been in bed for about 2 days, and it was TERRIBLE!!! The medicine has done me it's service and now I say adieu
to this outrageous digestive diesase which I will never again give it authority over my body on any occasion such as this which has passed.
This prolonged nurturing has done enough to this situation and now it is to be forbidden from it's prior life form.
I am just glad that I was able to locate what has caused this impertinent fracture of the digestive system, and now it will never be able to strike down on me a burden of what once was. I say farewell to those 12 g of lactose, which will never be inhaled through my esophagus again, so that it will not cause such anguish on behalf of my digestive tract.
If your like me (anti-lactaid-ified or what not) then abide by the rules... your body will thank you!
Cheers to Health and getting through what once was, and what will never be again....
