The Great Lactaid Challenge

I can't wait

Bye-bye, Kicky. It was nice to know ya.

By the way, that Chunky Monkey ice cream is some really good ****.

you're speaking literally, aren't you

Gas!
Bloating!
Diarrhea!

What's not to like?
Have another scoop, Kicky.

I had ribs, chili, and beans for lunch.
Should be an eventful evening for me as well.
Thank God we don't share a bathrroom.

kicky : hoping "option 4" will not happen. i have trouble digesting/tolerating milk (especially cold milk), but have little problem with yoghurt and (most)hard cheeses. found out the hard way that really good "emmentaler" also does not agree we me anymore - and it's been one of my favourite cheeses for years. regular "swiss" cheese is still ok - i wonder how long.
i tried lactaid - option 4 came into play - bummer ! have had a "full-blown" examination of most of my inner parts twice; the verdict : nothing major wrong, drink plenty of water ! for some time now i have been taking an antihistame (tavist) and some acid reducers daily and that allows me to eat most foods without much trouble. family doctor says : "it's all a matter of trial and error " ; that means : if you can't tolerate the food, don't eat it ! (thta's medical "science" for you !). hbg

Is he dead yet ?


Oh, Hi, Kick . . . uhm . . . just checkin' in . . .

Mmmm, I hope it works, then you can have some gelato soon... I mean other than the sorbetto kind.
They give small delicious portions...

(Btw, did you see the article on the Marches region in the NYT today?)

phrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrip

ah, much better

you know - i wuz lactose intol for years and had no idea.
i used to go out on my lunch hour and drive around for 1/2 hour just to fart.

one day - i decided to start counting.

when i got to 45 i was laughing so hard i was crying.

soy for me thanks.

Well, it's two and a half hours later, and I'm still alive. I don't feel the least bit gassy or bloated. Hmmm...I think that Lactaid crap worked! Of course, I fell asleep on the couch for about an hour and a half, so maybe it all happened in my sleep. But I didn't wake up with a load in my pants, so at least I know I didn't have diarrhea.

So I guess I can eat gelato when I'm in Italia now. Excellent!

P.S. No, Osso, I didn't see that article, but I will check right now. Thanks for the head's up.

Here's a link about it, re matters like not refrigerating the pills (or whatever they are) but storing below 77 degrees (?) and not taking them too early - just in case the box didn't say all that..

Good news!

Is he dead yet?

How'm I supposed to tell?

I dunno. Should someone try to call him?
He does have a cat that needs to be fed in a month or so.

Maybe he's still reading the NYT article...
