I love milk but somewhere along the line, I became lactose-intolerant (Mark Levin says he is too!)
I use those packets of Lactaid but sometimes they don't seem to work.
The gastroenterologist (sic>) I finally went to said “no more dairy”. He also said IBS. Could I be having more of the IBS instead of lactose-intolerance.
Anybody else know anything about getting lactose-tolerant? I miss milk big-time.
Two things I do re: lactase insufficiency: 1) Drink the new chocolate milks that are lactose-free (these are great). 2) Use Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula (tablets) which keeps lactase in your system all the time, top to bottom. Works better than the supplements that have to “go down with the food”. I have IBS also. Gastroenterologists are pretty useless except for giving colonoscopies.
I meant to say “regular and chocolate milk”. Both are available without lactose. But with the Digestive Advantage product it seems I can have moderate quantities of ordinary milk as well (just regular glasses, no big mugs — afraid to try that).
I’ve been drinking 2~3 gallons of mik (sometimes more) a week since forever. I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t drink it.
