MrsD, I don't know if I have an allergy to milk or lactose intolerance. A friend checked my blood sugar after I had something with milk and it was in the low 40's. My mom has hypoglycemia and I was borderline years back. I think maybe my issue with lactose may be separate from my problem with the growth hormones, but I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I know I have a problem and so far I haven't received a clear explanation from any doctor.
