Eaten cows' dairy in the first time for ages this weekend and have had a recurrence of the swollen, bloated face that I used to frequently get before I switched to eating more sheeps' and goats' products. I don't really feel I get any other symptoms, but I just want to know if a swollen face really can be indicative of an intolerance?
Can a swollen face/chin be a sign of lactose intolerance?
Carbohydrate intolerance is an inability to digest certain carbohydrates due to a lack of one or more intestinal enzymes. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal distention, and flatulence. Diagnosis is clinical and by H2 breath test. Treatment is removal of the causative disaccharide from the diet.
Swollen face may be due to an allergic sign. A less precise test of lactose intolerance can be done on someone by having the person follow these steps:
* Drink two cups of milk on an empty stomach and watching for signs of intestinal discomfort over the next several hours.
* The following day, eat two ounces of hard cheese or drink two cups of lactose-free milk.
If symptoms are experienced only on the first day, the person being tested may be lactose-intolerant. If symptoms are experienced on both days, the person may have an allergy to dairy products, which is unrelated to lactose intolerance.
Please see the web pages for more details on Lactose intolerance.
Reply:no but it could be allergy.here are the diffrences:
Allergy:gives you hives and you swell up
lactose and tollerent: hurt your stomach and you have problems with body functions
Reply:I know for infants that a swollen tosh (rashlike), and irritated private, is a definate sign. I would think that a swollen face can be an indicator also, expecially if u just reassumed the eating of dairy products.
