Being lactose intolerant sucks.

[Lawrence Ng]

I can't drink milk, eat cheese, or eat anything with dairy in it. It makes me wanna take a big dump, but I just end up blowing a fart most times.

I've noticed that because I can't drink milk and consume any dairy products that my physical structure and frame and shrinking and that my strength has also slightly decreased.

What can I use for subsidizing dairy products that will give me the calcium and missing supplements I need?

Thanks.

My son is also lactose intolerant. I give him cheese/milk and ice cream made from soy. I also try to put some calcium supplement in his food. That's what I have done so far. They also sell pills that you can take before you eat any dairy. It supposely helps. Have you tried those?

[TheCroShow]

aye, my bro is in the same boat. he drinks soy milk, and everything soy-related.

It could be worse dude, I'm deathly allergic to milk. Eating any dairy product would most likely kill me in about 30 minutes without medical attention, and drinking straight milk would kill me in about 5 minutes. Oh yeah and I'm allergic to fish.

Good ones are in bold.

Good luck lawrence.

you can eat cheese. it has very little lactose. the older cheeses like parmesan and romano have zero lactose.

Tofu, eggs, meat/fish, beans, vegetarian-based protein shakes.

I eat the calcium chews. I'm LI too. Mmmm, tasty chocolate morsels with vitamin D too. The calcium tablets are large and hard to swallow. I choked on one trying to swallow so I switched to the chewables which cost more but taste better. I've tried Lactaid and it helps. It's still not like you don't feel it but just a small amount of bloating and a couple farts. I've read that it's mostly just Europeans that drink milk. Africans and Asians are usually lactose intolerant but I haven't taken a poll myself.

I miss milk with my oreo cookies.

There are other brands. Have you tried them all?

Also, there is a new kind that you only have to take once a day. I don't remember the name, but they might be better.

I'vew also read where some people have apparently been able to retrain their bodies to make the milk digesting enzyme by eating lots of yogurt, etc. Try googling this.
