Sharona, that is well beyond simple lactose intolerance for most people. However!
Lactose intolerance begins 30 minutes to 2 hours after consuming lactose.
Symptoms are:
- Diarrhea (most common symptom)
- Nausea
- Abdominal cramps
- Bloating
- Gas
Symptoms are usually mild but may sometimes be severe.
Keep in mind that the flu and irritable bowel syndrome can cause similar symptoms as well.
Being that you broke out in a cold sweat, I would not think this was a case of lactose intolerance. Food poisoning maybe? Did you eat a bad egg or not cook it enough?
