I am allergic to milk and bread

I am a civil servant in my 50s. My problem is that I develop diarrhoea and dysentery anytime I take milk, groundnut, bread and fast foods. This problem has been with me for over 20 years. Kindly let me know how to handle the problem.

Your reaction to Milk could be due to the fact that your stomach lacks the enzyme to digest Milk, a condition known as Lactose Intolerance. This kind of allergy could also be responsible for your reaction to the other food items. As for dysentery, I will suggest that you send a sample of your stool to the Laboratory for a Culture examination in order to confirm if there is any underlying infection behind your problem.
