drank 2 full big cups of milk now im doomed but at least im comfy lol :3

Eating out has been something that I’ve always really struggled with. I have very severe lactose intolerance, the lactase pills usually help me with cross contamination or a very small amount of dairy.

I’m UK based, and have had bad experiences at Costa, Starbucks, Itsu, Dominos… I find KFC has nothing I can have at all. I’m quite comfortable eating at Nando’s and Wagamama. McDonald’s allergen menu is very good as they break it down for each menu item by ingredient so you can take out what you need to.

Can anyone recommend anywhere they trust to eat out?

I’ve never been bad with milk at all my entire life I could always drink milk perfectly fine, hell sometimes I’d drink fresh milk straight from a cow when I was younger. But up till now a few days ago I just can’t drink milk anymore, I typically drink milk all the time but god damn I just had the worst stomach pain I’ve ever had, this sucks man I really liked milk now I have to drink the lactose free one, any recommendations on good brands?

Hey y'all. Anyone else out there ever tried Treeline Cheese? It's a vegan cashew cheese. I'm obsessed with the herb flavor.

I am sensitive to coconut and coconut oils (at least, give noticed myself feeling sick after eating things with coconut oil), so it's been a struggle to fond a lactose free cheese that doesn't have any coconut oil. Happy to have finally found one!

My sister doesn’t seem to be lactose intolerant, but when she eats dairies during summer she always gets bad diarrhea, but only with fresh and whey cheeses. During the other periods of the year nothing happens to her, even if she eats dairies like mozzarella. Does this sound strange to all of you or not?

Hi I am developing a platform to help people with food allergies and food intolerances. I have developed a survey to help me get the information to do so. If you could please take a minute to fill it out I would really appreciate it. It is completely anonymous. Here is the link:

I haven’t tested for it, but I’ve been having stomach issues for my whole life that’s been getting worse these past months.. I can’t figure out why I’m like this. I have on and off stomach cramps either bloating and diarrhea. And when I get diarrhea I get chills and fever feeling followed by it, and then I sweat. I ate Greek yoghurt and a whole plate of dark chocolate + some other things last night, and my stomach cramps are so bad and it started late last night and I can’t stop going to the bathroom. It’s now morning. Gladly I’ve slept, but woke up again.

I don’t know if it is a pattern either. It seems like if I eat too much of something or lactose I get stomach issues. I also have ibs. But this fever feeling has been going on since summer. Suddenly I can feel “fine”, and like myself and out of the blue my stomach is cramping and I feel sick because of the chills and everything. I have been trying to figure it out at the doctors but no one knows. I haven’t checked for lactose, only celiac disease

I was sitting in my kitchen, eating some pie and I thought “ooh, this would go well with a nice cold glass of pie” not thinking about the severe consequences. I get up to get a glass and sit back down. I start drinking it while eating, thinking about how delicious this was. 15 minutes later I notice something is wrong with my stomach. My stomach lets out a low grumble. I run to the bathroom. My guts are about the fall out. I sit on the toilet. They do. The pain. Its over.

Edit: glass of milk not pie 😭

I am 23 M, and up until this year, I never head issues with products that contain lactose, or at least I did not notice. My issue is with Milk (all types). I can eat cheese (fr*aking love it), yoghurt, sour-cream etc, however when I drink milk, or eat cereals, I have diarrhea. I drink coffee with milk, and again, I have no issues.

I'm starting to slowly become sensitive to milk and I'd like to know.

So I realised for the past years that i am lactose intolerent. Having questions.

I realised that even just some small amount will change my bowls and how I feel. Is it how it works? Tho i'll have to eat a lot to have diahrea, but some amount will make my stools softer... a new dairy product tho will fuck me up even if low in lactose.... 0 lactose and I feel great.

Whey protein is supposed to be low in lactose but i'll shit my pants (not always)...

Am I just more senstive? Wondering if it depens with what you eat it with... time of digestion etc..

So I have developed minor lactose intolerance with age and its a learning curve. I find milk is a no go in most situations but most lower lactose things are fine.

But ive also found when I have lactose after other food I am fine, its much worse on an empty stomach. So if I eat cheese on an empty stomach I get cramps, but if I eat it after eating something else beforehand Im all good.

Is this a thing? If not I might need to go to a doctor and check this isnt something else.

So I’m a 100% northern European who loves all things dairy and I’m dating a second generation Chinese girl with about mid level intolerance. How does the genetics of intolerance work? Are any children we have going to need pills to drink choccy milk with me?

I thought I’d live dangerously today and had pizza and cheese cake… I know I’m an idiot for not taking a lactaid first but my god I’m dying now! I haven’t had dairy without lactaid in months maybe even closer to a year now.

It’s almost 1am and thank god my dentist appointment is tomorrow afternoon because I feel like I may die for the entire night. Bloating and burps have started, it’s only a matter of time until I’m holding onto the toilet for dear life. Wish me luck as my soul leaves my body through my ass.

Been roughly over a year since I first discovered I was lactose intolerant, and it feels like CENTURIES have passed since I last had cookies and milk. Oatly is some pretty good oat milk IMO, there’s hardly any difference from normal dairy, expect it’s slightly sweeter, and ya gotta shake the carton before you pour. Not gonna lie, I got kinda sad when I had some milk with Oreos tonight, like sure, I did find an alternative to milk and can enjoy a late night snack like usual, but MAN, I can’t have cookies and milk, it’s cookies and (oat) milk.

I actually have to start breathing like I am labouring, am sweating, will most probably want to take off any clothes that I have on (because it feels obstructing) thinking everytime “This is the time I’m just going to die on this toilet, for sure!” and wondering if this isn’t the time I should just go to the emergency because I can’t hold the pain while I’m most probably holding the walls with my hands trying to keep my sanity, sometimes feeling I’m going to throw up from the pain.

Hi! So I am the biggest cheese fan and eat it daily (sorry to my skin) and I am not lactose intolerant however my boyfriend is slightly and his family even more. I make the best baked mac and cheese and my boyfriend told me not to bring anything to his family’s thanksgiving dinner but in my culture it is rude to come empty handed.. so I kind of want to still try and make mac and cheese but maybe alter it so his family can actually eat it. His mom and her side of the family all have diabetes so I’m already thinking of swapping out my pasta for “Banza” which is apparently chickpea pasta and has good reviews per diabetics.

Now I have had vegan cheese once and kind of hated it (in a frozen vegan mac and cheese store bought box) but I added my own cheddar to it and it tasted good then.

1. Does anyone have any recommendations of vegan cheeses they use for mac and cheese? Does it melt?

2. If you were to eat mac and cheese or any cheese that is vegan… with a little bit of real cheese mixed into it for flavor would that still upset your stomach? Has anyone tried it?

Hey, I've been lactoseintolerant since I'm around 17/18. I'm 24 now, at first it was really bad and I got cramps and diarrhea, but not I "only" suffer from flatulence, which just smells bad (y'all know). I eat milk products on a daily and just read that my colon suffers from it. Is it bad for me already since I consumed milkproducts for around 6 years? (I can drink milkshakes, pure milk and I eat low-fat quark every day). I'm afriad that my risk for colon - cancer already got increased by a lot. If it is bad, which pills should I take? I used some in 2018, but I forgot the strength and brand, I only remember that it was a long process finding which one is good, but back then my lactoseintolerance was way worse.

HI! Sorry for the particular message, but we would like to ask you for help with one of our university projects. I underline that it is only a project for a course, nothing concrete at the moment, but it would be an app that allows you to scan the barcode of the products and check whether or not they contain lactose.

What we want to do is validate the problem and the solution, so I wanted to ask you if you could use a minute of your time to visit our website and complete the survey that you will receive through an email subscription present at the bottom of the page.

The email request is necessary for the specifics of the course, since providing your personal data is seen as strong interest from customers, but a fictitious address like those of 10 minutes mail would also be fine.

Hello everybody! My first time writing here, forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask, Just abit worried and was gonna ask what you think?
I'm very underweight due to some eating disorders ive been dealing with the past 5 years, due to this ive lost alot of weight and not eaten proper, so my doctor has sent me on some nourishment/protein drinks, all of these contain "low lactose" But it still confuses me, all of them say they contain 0.5grams/per 100grams of lactose, is that low enough to be safe? Should i be worried? The brands are Fresubin, Nestle Resourse Protein and Nutridrink, Thank you for reading

I have an addiction to granola for a mid-day cereal snack. I love whole milk. I'm also critically lactose intolerant. 😶 Any recommendations for non-dairy milk alternatives that are the closest to whole milk? Thoughts on lactose-free?

I’m lactose intolerant. Caused (I’m almost certain) from omitting milk from my diet in exchange for oat. Now I can’t even have a small bit.

Anyway… I wondered what everyone’s favourite milk alt is?

I’ve been experimenting with home made because I don’t like the thought of all the binders etc but I’m yet to nail it.

So far soya is probably my go to for most things but I’m not keen on it in coffee. I still stick with oat for that. Almond and cashew seem to curdle in hot drinks.

Any tips would be awesome!

I’m at my wits end, trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. Honestly it’s embarrassing to even talk about.

I am assuming I’m lactose intolerant because everytime I have dairy my stool becomes bulky, hard to flush and mushy with no distinct shape. And on the lighter golden brown colour. And the smell is foul too.

I’ve not really experienced greasy stool, however I did notice some “oily film” that’s coming out of my stools, but it’s transparent and I can only see it with the flashlight. So not actual droplets.

I’ve had bad reaction to fast food especially McDonald’s, I thought it was because of the actual food itself, but my food contained cheese. I’ve been having issues with my bowel movements, I’m getting checked out just to be safe, but if I fully eliminate dairy my stool becomes solid but still floats for a bit. I am tired of feeling disgusting like that. I do experience a lot of gas as well. Only when I eat clean it goes away.

Anyone else experienced this?

In the past weeks during the weekends I’ve been needing to shit every hour along with 4/10 stomach aches that aren’t that bad, but I realized it’s only on the weekends and that’s because I drink a lot of dairy products during the weekends, so I THINK I’m intolerant just not insanely is that possible?

Hey guys,

So recently I've been having these god-awful stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea the whole shabang. I noticed it mostly happened after I ate a large amount of dairy products so I suspect I'm intolerant. For example yesterday I ate say 6 slices of pizza had HORRIBLE diarrhea that's never happened to me before and my stomach still felt horrible after passing the stool. However today I drank a mocha frap, ate 2 slices of pizza. and had half a small ice cream cake and been mostly fine. Is the fact I felt MUCH better today because I ate less dairy or is it just a stomach bug? Also I ate oatmeal this morning and took a shit with only a splash of milk

I’ve always relied on the good culture lactose free but it’s nowhere to be found anymore! I’ve been settling for lactaid but has anyone seen the purple good culture lately?

My 23 year old son has had approximately 3 weeks of watery diarrhea and bad stomach cramps daily. Not all day but for a period of time each day. He has seen a doctor (twice). Today it hit me that he could be LI. He eats yogurt every morning and I’m sure other dairy products throughout the day (cheese, etc). Like I said, he is being followed by a doctor but does this sound like it could be LI to any of you?

does anyone else have a sensitivity to like every kind of milk there is? no matter if it’s cows milk, lactose free, oat milk, almond milk, etc, it still hurts my stomach.. does this happen to anyone else? is it something in the milk i have a sensitivity to rather than being just lactose intolerant?
