my lactose intolerance

beberapa hari sebelum ni saya try minum susu segar... ada la perut sakit sikit tapi tak cirit-birit. Semalam saya minum lagi 2 cawan. Tak makan malam konon sebab dah minum susu... tapi tengah malam badan panas... perut bunyi kuat gila... berombak dan pesta buih meletup berlaku riang dalam perut. Badan jadi lembik sangat. Nak gi toilet pun tak larat. Perut sakit tapi bukan nak membuang. Tapi saya gagahkan jugak... pegi dekat sinki.. muntahkan... kuar buih-buih je...cam gastrik.

Kesian baby.... nampaknya tak dapat nak minum susu juga sepanjang mengandung ni. Alah lactose ni dari dulu lagi... minum je susu aku berlari cari toilet mencirit.

Nak minum susu soya tapi ada pendapat kata anak jadi kurang bijak.

mencuri sedikit ilmu dari prof google:

What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?

People who are lactose intolerant will find that dairy products give them wind. If you're highly intolerant you may already be aware of this before pregnancy. But if you're only somewhat intolerant (and thus not aware of it) you may start to feel some distress during pregnancy.

Other common symptoms are:

• nausea
• abdominal cramps
• flatulence (gas)
• diarrhoea
• indigestion
• stomach rumbling and bloating

The symptoms usually appear within two hours of consuming foods which contain lactose. However, this may vary from person to person depending on their age and sensitivity to lactose and how fast they digest.

How can I know for sure I'm lactose intolerant?

In all likelihood, your doctor will be able to tell you if you're lactose intolerant by asking about your symptoms. She may ask you to cut out all dairy products for a short period to see if your health improves.

Sometimes normal pregnancy symptoms can be confused with those of lactose intolerance. Nausea, vomiting heartburn are common problems for many pregnant women. In such cases doctors may suggest taking a blood sugar test or a hydrogen breath test to get the right diagnosis.

How can I get enough calcium if I'm lactose intolerant?

Your best food sources of calcium are milk and other dairy products. However, if you are lactose intolerant, you may need calcium supplements and a specific non-dairy, calcium rich diet. This will help to make up for the loss of calcium from milk and dairy products. Non-dairy sources of calcium include:

• leafy greens such as spinach (paalak)
• soya milk
• tofu
• broccoli
• Indian shad fish (hilsa)
• sesame seeds (til)
• nuts
• whole-grains

Lactose-free milk and other dairy products are now available in some grocery stores. They have all the nutrients of regular milk without the lactose.

Keep in mind that vitamin D is essential for maximum absorption of calcium in your body. Good sources of vitamin D are eggs, fish and regular exposure to sunlight. If you do not eat eggs and fish speak to you doctor, she may prescribe a suitable vitamin D supplement.

Can lactose intolerance be treated or prevented?

There is no specific treatment for lactose intolerance. But there are things you could do to help you with this condition:

• Reduce or cut out milk and milk products from your diet. This approach works for most people.
