Healthy Lifestyle Changes for Fibromyalgia: Diet (Excerpt from �The Complete Idiot�s Guide to Fibromyalgia� by Lynne Matallana)

Interesting to read that lactase enzymes can be bought to help with dairy intolerance which I certainly suffer from...

Healthy Lifestyle Changes for Fibromyalgia: Diet (Excerpt from �The Complete Idiot�s Guide to Fibromyalgia� by Lynne Matallana): "Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the principal sugar of milk. This intolerance is caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, a person may suffer from nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Individuals with lactose intolerance need to limit their intake of milk and dairy products or take lactase enzymes that are available without a prescription. "

Will research to see what if such lactase enzymes are available in the UK......
