Suspected. Have to cut it out for three weeks and see what happens when I reintroduce it back.

Lot of Lactose in Gin and in White Wine. Vodka and Red Wine however are a different matter. Mrs S#2 is lactose intolerant.

Try this site for ideas http://www.lactofree.co.uk/

BTW most people turn out not to be lactose intolerant but to have a reaction to Gluten (as well as being Gluttons)

No ~ I simply don't like milk.

I drink Green Tea because it is caffeine free, full of anti oxidants and helps prevent cancer. I also like it AND it does not need milk.

I never eat cereals, which use milk, because (i) I don't like them and (ii) they are so full of salt, sugar and additives that they cannot be beneficial for anyone. They are a cheap and easy way to fill up children at breakfast time AND that is all they are good for.

My breakfast is either a kipper (full of omega 3 etc) or porridge made simply with oats and water with a dash of cinnamon. No salt, no sugar AND no milk. An occasional treat is a grilled rasher and scambled eggs.

I don't like milk as milk either. But I do like it in tea.  angry041:

Use coffee creamers then or dried milk without the lactose.

That you need either (i) Balancing and calming, (ii) he is trying to help or (iii) he wants you to get mucky with him.

Maybe my experience of adult females is atypical, but you seem quite calm and balanced in my book.  rubschin:

On a scale of 0 to 10 with Mother Teresa at 0 and menopausal Mrs DS#2 at 10, you rate about 0.7 . . .

Like Snoopy, I try to avoid milk and quite a bit of other dairy items. They seem to bring on IBS, as does red meat. Cutting these out of my diet helps greatly, but I do treat myself to a strong cuppa on Sataurday and Sunday mornings... as the ad use to say "best drink of the day". The rest of the week, I drink lemon tea, or as the girls in the office call it, "puffs tea"

Win back some 'street cred' by carrying a hip flask filled with apple juice and being seen to pour a measure into each cup of 'puffs tea'.  ;)
