I am finding a lot of doctors are simply ascribing symptoms to lactose intolerance without doing any testing at all. Are the symptoms "classic" LI symptoms? You don't mention specifically what the symptoms are. I agree with others - while there may be a lactose problem, it's also as likely to be some other constituent in the ice cream. Flavorings, colorings, additives, cross-contamination w/ nuts or other allergens might all be suspected. A careful diary of foods and their ingredients and her reactions to them over a few weeks is probably in order - from that, you might (or a doctor might) find a pattern that would help. Good luck
