A few years back I picked up eating alfredo sauce (on noodles or chicken, etc) and I loved it but every time it would upset my stomach horribly. I would be in the bathroom for about an hour. I'm not lactose intolerant and will drink entire cartons of milk myself with in a day. I have no other problems with any food. I figured out my mother is the same way with alfredo sauce. This is just out of curiosity, is this just an intolerance? But to what if I'm not lactose intolerant or intolerant of any other foods? Thanks for any info on this : )

So I have a similar issue. Alfredo sauce from olive garden, other Italian restaurants, or alfredo pizza sauce makes me so ill. its so painful and it hurts so bad for a couple hours every time i eat it. it makes me so miserable. I am also not lactose intolerant because I drink a lot of milk and eat cheese on everything with no issue. i have noticed that homemade variation of alfredo that are made with milk and cream cheese and mozzarella don't hurt me like the other one does. so my guess is the olive oil and he sheer amount of oil in the sauce is what causes the pain and upset. if you can find an alternative made with cream cheese and milk instead of milk and oil it might not give you the stomach upset while you can still enjoy an alfredo alternative! I also made a cream sauce with the spirit of alfredo but its got almost no oil in it so it doesn't hurt me. you might want to try to see if its the oil and if it is just know there is hope!
