I can't answer this question, but I had a particularly bad episode after being served ice cream (and led to believe it was Frozen Yogurt which for whatever reason causes me no problems). I woke up that night in horrible pain. Had no pills to take. I remember trying to drink a lot of water but it didn't help. I went back to bed still in pain. Next thing I know I'm in an ambulence on my way to the hospital having had my first ever seizure. Haven't had another since. Anybody else?
What else can I help you with?

What food allergies is worse anapaletic lactose intolerance or galactosemic?
Anaphylactic reactions are life-threatening and can occur with food allergies, while lactose intolerance and galactosemia are not classified as allergies. Lactose intolerance leads to digestive discomfort but is not life-threatening. In contrast, galactosemia is a serious genetic disorder that can cause severe health issues if untreated, making it more critical to manage. Overall, galactosemia poses a greater health risk than lactose intolerance.

However, individual reactions to other ingredients in soft drinks can vary, so it's always best to consult a healthcare provider if there are concerns.
Is lactose intolerance an adaptation to an environmental factor?
There are three classifications of lactose intolerance. The two most common are environmentally induced, the third is a result of genetics.1. Primary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced when weaning a child in non-dairy consuming societies. This is found in many Asian and African cultures, where industrialized and commercial dairy products are uncommon.2. Secondary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced, resulting from certain gastrointestinal diseases, including exposure tointestinal parasites such as Giardia lamblia. In such cases the production of lactase may be permanently disrupted. A very common cause of temporary lactose intolerance is gastroenteritis, particularly when the gastroenteritis is caused by rotavirus. Another form of temporary lactose intolerance is lactose overload in infants.3. Congenital lactase deficiency. A genetic disorder which prevents enzymatic production of lactase. Present at birth, and diagnosed in early infancy.
