Learning to Love Lactose
I've been intolerant towards lactose for as long as I can remember. Really, it's something I learned from my parents. They grew up in a different time and being intolerant towards lactose was all they knew. But that is how they raised me: in lactose free cities, drinking lactose free milk, learning English and math in lactosely segregated classrooms. I should have been wiser, I should have known better, but I didn't. The times, however, could be a changin'!
Digestive Advantage™ LI was recently introduced into my life. One stinkin' caplet a day and supposedly I will now start loving lactose and all the dirty, rotten, no good things it does (I've still got some tolerance learning to do, as you can see). But this means I can once again enjoy big bowls of ice cream, blocks of cheese, bowls of cereal full of milk, bagels smothered in cream cheese and, the thing I've missed the most, tall glasses of chocolate milk, all with no worries of uncomfortable (and embarrassing) gas. Well, at least that's the hope. I'm on day 3 of the pills and I have yet to really put this to the test. I'm afraid. I've been so intolerant all my life. What if I open up my arms to lactose and it shuns me? I'm not sure if I can handle that.
UPDATE: I just finished a Nesquik. Wish me luck.
UPDATE 2: This stuff is fantastic. I had Mexican food several nights in a row with cheese galore and had NO gas. Digestive Advantage has possibly changed my life. I feel terrible for all the bad things I've said about lactose during my life. I'm a changed man.
