Me but wheat.
All the tasty things are wheat but apparently I'm allergic and my esophagus wants to close up and kill me.

My fellow lactose intolerant peeps, lactaid tablets are cheap and work well. I suffered for decades before finally trying it. Don't be stupid like me!
Lactaid never did anything for me. I still shit my guts out later on.
Won't stop eating cheese, though.
Commendable. Cheese life.
On the off chance that it's relevant to you or anybody else reading, the lactaid dose matters quite a bit. The first time I bought it, the packaging recommended 3 tablets for a dose. Why they didn't just do bigger tablets, I'll never know. They also say they're only helping you for about 30 minutes, so take more if you eat lactose 30 minutes past your lactaid dose. Basically just read the directions and err on the side of taking more if you aren't sure.
Me too. I get them on Amazon tho, way cheeper
Whatever floats your boat, but I'm wary of counterfeit stuff on Amazon these days, so things meant to be ingested are a no-go for me unless I can be reasonably certain it's not a reseller. Plus I don't like giving more money to bezos if I can help it, but that's an entirely different conversation.
Agree wholeheartedly on not giving Jeffy-boy any more money, but I've used the same brand from the same seller for a year or so now and have had no ill effects. Only ever started buying them there when I couldn't find them on shelves anywhere local
Soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, ...
Milk isn't the only product that contains lactose. In my opinion, a life without cheese is not a life worth living. And I know there are alternatives, but I don't think any of them are anywhere near as delicious as cheese made from milk of cows and goats.
Did you know casein gives cheese an addictive property? I used to wolf it down but haven't had any in something like six years and now I can barely stand the smell.
Goats have much lower lactose, so both goat milk and cheese are fine alternatives.
Yogurts and cow milk based cheese also tend to be less intense, as some of the lactose is consumed when they are made, albeit some more than others.
True! General rule of thumb I've noticed (although there are exceptions) is that soft cheeses fucked me up more than hard cheeses. Mozzarella destroys me, but Parmesan is nothing.
i was at Walgreens looking for those right
looked for 50 minutes and left after giving up.
everything cost 20 dollars too
i knew i probably couldn't even afford it at that ponzy scheme of a store
I literally refuse to stop eating dairy even if it kills me. I love ice cream
Breyers and lactaid make passable lactose free ice cream Both are vanilla, but it's something.
I blame dairy industry marketing
Now that we're men!!!
This is disgusting.
Excellent.
