Good thing I'm lactose intolerant.

I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to wheat. I recently learned that the two may be related. The tips of the villi in the colon is where lactase is produced. If you are gluten sensitive, the villi shrivel and can't make lactase. I've been very careful to avoid wheat and the lactose intolerance has eased. I may need to be more aggressive about elimination of gluten to completely solve the problem.
