    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.

      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
