Hey Kell! Sorry I'm seeing this so late, but yes mah dear~ I can relate. I've been on Aciphex for quite a while and just nursed a small ulcer last Nov. I have too much bile back up, so tend to have probs. *even had GB out*
Probably TMI, but for years I was '' constipated'' and all of a sudden, it's gone. I started eating yogurt and I think that helped.
A note on your dairy question. My dear Mother became lactose intolerant in her 60's. So, guess it can happen at any age. Hope you get some relief, but I do understand.
