Endoscopy all clear but reacting to lactose and wheat
hi everybody, I’m wondering if you had the answers to some questions I have.
my team has been having a lot of stomach pain and she got an endoscopy that came up totally clear. No reactions to any sugars, no lactose intolerance, no celiac.
after that, because of course thr stomach pain remained, we tried fodmap and finally got some relief!
we have cut out wheat (except aourdough) and lactose. those are the main triggers.
so the questions are:
is a fodmap reaction to lactose different from the reaction they are testing for when they do an endoscopy and test for lactose intolerance? its confusing that she tested negative for lactose intolerance but is reacting to lactose.
also- even though most of the cheeses we eat at our house are considered low fodmap, my kid said she still has some troubles with them. if fodmap lactose sensitivity is seperate from lactose intolerance then I wouldn’t expect her to be sensitive to cheddar cheese. and if she is sensitive to them then wouldn't that point to lactose intolerance of the traditional sort- thr kind she was tested dor during her endoscopy?
