Hello I know a little about being lactose intolerant, how about you?
Yes! I am lactose intolerant! That basically means that I can't digest lactose, which is a sugar found in milk products.
OH what happens if you do eat it?
Oh man, it's bad! I can experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, nausea and bloating. It's not pleasant!!
Wow, That sounds unpleasant, do people ever have to go to the hospital ?
Thank goodness, I haven't had to. I try really hard to avoid it. Lactose makes up around 2-8% of milk, but you can also buy special types of milk made for people who are lactose intolerant.
Yeah what kinds of milk do you drink instead?
I make sure to pick one that states it's lactose free. There is a powder I'd like to try called Lactagen, it's a powder that's mixed with water that you drink for 38 days. It's supposed to help!
