    Yes, when I first started the elimination phase of the Low Fodmap diet I used lactose free milk, but it gave me dreadful heartburn, indigestion and a feeing bloated.  As soon as I went back to ordinary milk the heartburn etc disappeared.

    Yup. Not all IBS dairy reactions are caused by lactose. Sometimes it's the milk proteins themselves as they are hard to digest. I use soya milk.
