I have a friend who is super lactose intolerant and from watching her everyday I can understand it is not easy. Well, the only "easy" thing is making a mistake and eating something uncool. The symptoms are always nasty and painful so no need to belittle them imo. I also have a friend with celiac disease and my mom is also lactose intolerant. I don't think I even know anybody who hasn't got some issues with food. The curse of the modern diet and processed food you could say.
The hardest part is inviting them all over and cooking for them!
Take care, and go see that doctor when you are able to. I hope you will get the right treatment.
I've also been tested for reflux disease, celiac disease, hypothyroidism, asthma, allergies etc. and no problems anywhere yet I was sick all the time. I thought I was going nuts until I found out about fructmal. My symptoms were all over the place, not just tummy pain but inflammatory joint pains, pms from hell and I always had a stuffy nose(apparently due to internal bloating) and I swear it makes my "slight" allergies worse. Glad they've all eased up with this diet. And to think I thought taking a spoonful of honey everyday would make me more tolerant. I turned this into an illness discussion didn't I? *whistles innocently*
I think I will do some sketching too. Don't have any tabelts or programs available anyway right now. Definitely need to try out painting without the sketching part too.
