And I don't care. I'm gonna keep getting that cheese and milk

 

[MGHA]

I soil it, you soil it. We all scream for the toilet.

 

[Durien]

My wife is lactose intolerant. She takes these OTC pills called Lactaid that make it so that she can eat ice cream and such. Maybe they'll work for you as well.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Keep on keeping on.

 

[GateofD]

same with peanuts, but sometimes i just go for it and eat those peanut m&ms. yolo.

 

[HoodWinked]

Just force it.

 

[JimmyRustler]

You are not. Intolerant people are born with it. You only screwed up your digestive tract. Fix it.

Been there btw. Takes forever to fix… But then again, it takes long to screw it up as well so…

 

[Plies]

I weaponize it and I'm not even Dutch.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

In the cave age... Prehistoric people didn't worry about that and ate everything.

Cavemen ate cheese and ice cream?

 

[Dacvak]

Bro it's 2025. Maybe stop being intolerant ffs.

 

[NeverYouMind]

For some reason this makes me thirsty for some chocolate milk.

 

[Chittagong]

Most people who get it are actually intolerant to ultra processed dairy, but can well tolerate organic, non-homogenised milk and traditional cheese products.

It's super common in Finland where everything is ultra processed, and virtually all my friends can consume the less processed dairy available in UK.

Probably for the best you ever have to deal with hemorrhoids? Shits the worst and cheese only makes it worse.

 

[MaestroMike]

Kefir and yogurt is easier to digest if you want some dairy

So what would you recommend as a dairy alternative?

Coconutt Milk?

 

[SJRB]

Weak bloodline.

 

[Sub_Level]

My understanding is LI people can still cook food with butter and have no issues so honestly you ain't missing much. Ice cream and cheese are prevalent in society but I'd hardly call them necessary to live a happy culinary life. They sell frozen lemon/lime fruit bars if you cravin a frozen treat on a hot day.

If you have all the answers, why aren't you sharing them.

 

[killatopak]

All good things come with a price.

 

[thefool]

There's a lot of lactose-free (bit misleading label) products.

 

[JimmyRustler]

If you have all the answers, why aren't you sharing them.

Because there is no clear cut fix that'll work for everyone. You have to experiment and it takes a loooonnnngggg time. Hence most just opt for medication, which of course will ruin everything even further long term.

Couple of years back I was at the point where just looking at a protein shake would give me bloat. Got the same standard diagnosis… Laktose intolerant… I didn't want to accept this. Tried everything, got it under control.

Today I drink protein shakes in morning and evening without any problems whatsoever.

Fun fact: being not lactose intolerant is a mutation.
From an evolutionary point of view mammals aren't supposed to consume milk after weaning, which means that the body doesn't produce any lactase anymore. That's the enzyme the body needs to digest lactose.

 

[Hudo]

I was too, but I basically just kept eating cheese, yogurt and drinking milk anyway and after a year or so, my problems just disappeared.

 

[SJRB]

Me after drinking my morning milk, lunch milk, diner milk and evening milk

Have you ever had a cat?

[Peggies]

Have you ever had a cat?

Yes. Did you know that most of them are also lactose intolerant? Which is why there's special cat milk that comes with lactase added.

Look, I'm not the milk police. I'm just explaining the medical aspects.

Look it up.

I was lactose tolerant in my youth, but lost it as I became an adult. This is quite common. Fortunately there are good lactose free products here in the Nordics. My stomach doesn't crash from milk chocolate, but if I drink glasses of milk I'll be sitting on the loo contemplating my stupidity.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Cavemen ate cheese and ice cream?

No, because they hadn't domesticated cows or goats yet. But they ate everything.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

On the weekends I have choco milk with my Oreo cookies or chokis cookies.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Weak bloodline.

In prehistoric times, medieval times, Bubonic plague and during the World Wars, people ate everything, and now???...


My stomach hurts from milky.



They sound like women when they don't want to go to work because they have menstrual cramps.

 

[Hookshot]

Even moderate sized supermarkets will have lacto free dairy products as well as stuff like oat milk. Don't know if it all tastes like shit but it exists.

[Mistake]

This is what I did for spicy food. Not every day, but maybe 3 times a week. After a month I had no issues at all and it seems to be permanently resolved

The infant mortality rate was sky high from the dawn of humanity through the 1800's, the plague had people buried in mass graves, and lots of people just plain starved to death during world wars. It wasn't until the second half of the 20th century when access to medication and better health care started to get disease under control so that the population could explode like it has. Then humanity invented processed foods and gmo's and started poisoning itself.

People are more resilient now than ever. Before we understood lactose intolerance babies just fucking died from it.

 

[Kacho]

Sometimes you gotta suffer to enjoy a delicious glass of whole milk.

 

[Nocty]

I gurantee if you cut out supermarket pasturised milk (slop) and just opt for raw milk from a local farm your intollerance will magically dissappear

I stopped drinking that shit long ago and I can now happily chug a pint of raw milk a day with no problems.

 

[The Cockatrice]

With age, everyone becomes intolerant, some more than the others, others less than some. I'm a bit as well, but it won't stop me eating all sorts of cheese, as it's high protein and good for your body despite your asshole saying stop.

 

[Plies]

But they ate everything.

False.

Black cavemen never ate pussy.

 

[The Pleasure]

Well i just had some milk and my toilet is feeling my wraith. But to quote a wise person

I don't believe that for a minute. The research on the microbiome is currently in it's infancy. There is a reason why everyone left and right is becoming intolerant to laktose, fructose or gluten today. And it "just happening" as we age is a bunch of bullshit. It has to do with our diet. I certainly knew why I got it and deep down I'm sure OP knows it as well. You don't get intolerant to something all of a sudden if you have a decent diet - and if you think you do you're just lying to yourself to make you feel better about your shitty eating habbits.

Don't forget ice cream.

All you had to do was twist the milk cap.

I noticed this when I switched to organic whole milk and better cheeses, minimal issues. The regular run of the mill garbage tears me up.

I mean everything is a mutation and that has nothing to do with what you're "supposed" to do. People with the lactase gene were more likely to survive in the parts of the world where crop cultivation was a challenge and dairy was accessible during the neolithic period.

There can be multiple reasons. There's a genetic basis for lactose intolerance, but there are entire cultures that have basically overcome it through a diet that is heavy in yogurt which effectively supplements their gut with the enzyme through the microbiota in the dairy.

What? I mean whatever. It's not a "I produce more lactase than you, bro"-contest. Just pointing out some interesting fact.

That is what I am saying though. If it's genetic, you have it. But you have it from birth. If you get it later in life it has nothing to do with genes and everything to do with your microbiota. So again, fix it. Cultivate the microbes and feed them. It's not that hard. You'll eat healthy food along the way, I promise.
