HTSC
It was called Levbid when it was first prescribed, but I was switched to another brand. I think the generic is Hyoscyamine. I've dropped from 2 a day to 1 and will drop it entirely when the current bottle is empty. I have been taking Aciphex also, but that only started a couple months ago and I will drop that when the bottle is empty as well.

...and you'd know if it was lactose vs. casein since lactaid milk and lactaid would provide no benefit to someone with a casein issue.
there is also a hydrogen breath test.
I tried probiotics. No help that I could discern.
