Hi ,you made me laugh with the barbie dolls episode, anyway you might be on to something here, if its lactose Intolerance, Lactose intolerance can be an early sign of gluten sensitivity. iv'e read that milk causes 90% of food allergies, fish,shell fish & tree nut causes 5% & egg whites, peanuts, wheat & soybeans another 5%
Have you been tested for Gluton Sensitivity ?
