DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB
Milk tolerance,
stomach problems
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb—l read an
article by you on tips to
combat stomach acid. It
seemed to fit my condition
perfectly. I've had X rays
taken and received a report
of only a “pre-ulcer condi
tion.” Many of my friends
with ulcers drink a little
milk or cream and seem to
get relief. In my case it
seems to make the pain in
my stomach worse. I’ve tried
to follow an ulcer diet, but I
don’t get any relief. Do you
have any suggestions for
me?
Dear Reader—l'm always
suspicious when a patient
tells me that he has been on
a bland diet or the type of
diet that is normally given
for ulcer patients and his
condition is actually made
worse. Not infrequently,
these are the people who
have trouble with milk tol
erance. They cannot digest
the milk sugar. When this
happens, the milk sugar
stays in the digestive tract
and acts somewhat like a
chemical laxative, causing
gas, distention, sometimes
diarrhea and irritates the
digestive tract in general
The best way to find out if
this is the case is merely to
stop using all dairy prod
ucts long enough to find out
if this is true. If so, the cure
then is not the usual ulcer
treatment, but staying away
from all milk products and
anything containing milk.
Such individuals will still
need the calcium that’s
found in milk. I recommend
that these people try to find

HOLLYWOOD—(NEA)-The job situation for black
actors has improved in the last few years. Right? Pos
sibly that’s true in general but there are some specific
exceptions. Hari Rhodes is living one of those exceptions.
“I’ve only had two jobs in the last 19 months,” says
Rhodes, admittedly one of the best actors around, black
or white.
He thinks there are two reasons for his lack of work.
“First,” he says, “1 know in some previous jobs I’ve
rubbed some people the wrong way—you do your best,
they do their best, but there’s abrasion. And, second,
perhaps I’ve gotten too expensive for some of the shows—
they can get somebody cheaper, so they go that route.”
One of his two recent jobs was as the vice-governor
in the "Conquest Os the Planet Os the Apes” film. It’s
making money and making the public more Rhodes-con
scious than they were in his years on TV’s Daktari and
The Bold Ones.
While Rhodes says that the market for jobs for blacks
has been, and is, improving, he still has one big bone
to pick with the system.
“There's still only one black star in the acting pro
fession,” he says, "and that’s Poitier. And there never
yet has been a black female star.”
Even though Rhodes doesn’t work much, he’s far from
unemployed. He says he’s like a neglected wife—“you
leave her alone too long and she’ll turn to somebody
else.” So he’s turned to something else—writing. He’s
written one novel, based on his five years in the Marine
Corps. He has another one currently in New York and a
third one is being written and he’s also writing a screen
play based on the first one, “A Chosen Few.”
About his first name. He originally was just Harry
Rhodes, but he decided to change the spelling.

MOM S THE WORD
There’s a film around now called “Little Mother.” It’s
really the story of Eva Peron but, to show you how inter
national the movie world is these days, it was shot in
Yugoslavia, produced and directed by an American (Rad
ley Metzger) and stars a German girl.
Her name is Christiane Kruger. She’s beautiful, blonde
and blue-eyed and thinks it’s high time we got over our
World War II hatreds and gave a nice German girl a
break. She points out that there hasn’t been a German
girl who’s made it in Hollywood since the war.
Maybe she’ll be the one. She has the talent, a talent she
comes by naturally. Her father is the noted German
actor. Hardy Kruger, who's been in many U.S. movies.
She says her father would not let her get near a studio
when she was young. He didn’t want her to get involved
in what he called a “show-off” business. She went to an
international school in Geneva, Switzerland.
She’s done a lot of films in Germany and some in
France and Italy, but this is her first international.
“It’s the story of 10 years in a woman’s life,” she says,
"as she changes from an average hooker to a president’s
wife.”
Miss Kruger is looking for new acting worlds to con
quer. There isn’t much for a movie actress in Germany.
“The film industry in Germany is in bad shape." she
says. “The movies they make, you wouldn’t believe. They
are for an audience which is totally unsophisticated. The
stories are usually about a farmer who kills a deer, that
sort of thing."

the same amount of calcium
that’s normally present in
milk. If you can't find it in
your grocery store, it can
usually be found in health
food stores.
The other problem which
can be confused with ordi
nary ulcer pain is the low
blood sugar problem. Indi
viduals whose blood sugar
drops sharply often have*
ulcer symptoms. The reason
is that the same mechanism
that causes excess insulin
to be poured out from the
pa ncreas that causes the
low blood sugar also stimu
lates the stomach to pour
out acid pepsin juice.
Milk, with its milk sugar,
and some other products
that people might eat on an
ulcer diet actually aggra
vate the low blood sugar
problem. These individuals
are often best treated by
avoiding sweets, milk, sweet
drinks of any sort, including
particularly hot, sweetened
coffee, and directing their
dietary program toward
vegetables, cereals, meats
and beans. They should
avoid foods with lots of
sugar such as fruits, sweets,
baked products, including
pies, cakes and any sweet
rolls. In both instances the
best wav I know to find out
if this is the problem is to
test yourself along the lines
just suggested.
