Is consuming dairy like milk and cheese the cause of my bedtime problems? DR ELLIE reveals the surprising answer
I suffer from nightmares that wake me up. I read that they can be caused by a dairy intolerance, but I don't have any other symptoms. Do you think this might be what's behind them?
Dr Ellie Cannon replies: Some research suggests lactose intolerance, where the body has trouble breaking down dairy, can increase the frequency and severity of bad dreams, but this isn't common enough for them to be considered a symptom.
