Lactose Intolerance, lactase vs ultra processed milk?

..... one of my "I wish I had .........." is to have food/liquid intolerance tests years ago . Few months ago I asked a Dr at a zoom clinic to refer me and he said no because he could not interpret the results! I think I could; however when I got home and checked this view on Internet, seems most family doctors do not "believe" in it. Its just with ibsd and other issues and trying to make meals for ill husband and myself that i cannot start off with the several days of just plain white rice... so I suppose I am to blame for not trying this. We no longer eat things like pizza, chile, and even lesser spicy foods... what I have been trying lately is no fresh onions/garlic etc. as having burning cheeks on and off etc.... and I thought was helping but today symptoms back again: however, even some tinned soup and powdered gravy mixes have "spcies" in and they dont say which ones; I contacted a company last year to ask what spices in their ???? and very nice reply saying it was basically "top secret." Sorry this njot abgout milk, just a comment, J.

@lacy2 sounds like to me that maybe you have a gluten intolerance even though it can come back negative if you’re tested for celiac disease, it did for me but my consultant said to cut out all wheat for six weeks which I did and it really helped no more discomfort and bloating so worth a try

@lacy2 I get it! I also have problems with some FODMAPs. What I’ve found: RAO makes a very good marinara for sensitive stomachs, contains no onion or garlic. I believe they use garlic infused oil, which should be okay. I also now use Fairlife lactose free milk, and their lactose free greek yogurt - it really helps.
I have Fodzyme brand digestive enzymes to sprinkle on food. It helps with some foods. After reading the pancreatic cancer forum, and how most of them must use digestive enzymes, usually Creon, it pushed me into trying the Fodzyme. Find it on the web, I buy from Amazon.
The other thing that helps me is using the free FODMAP app by Monash University. It is easy to use their food guide, and they list levels of fructose, lactose, mannitol, sorbitol, GOS, and fructan. I have problems with lactose, GOS (includes garlic, onion), but can eat limited amounts of fructans, sorbitol and mannitol.
And, I agree about white rice!
With my lactose reaction this morning, I was trying to figure out lunch. Ugh. I had grapes, orange, rice cakes with natural peanut butter that I mix in pure cocoa powder - sort of Nutella.
