I have lactose intolerance, a decreased ability to digest lactose in dairy products. Gives me pretty awful gas, honestly.
That sounds bad, can you eat cheese or that cause symptoms too?
Cheese is no good, although honestly it depends on how much I eat or drink of a given dairy product. If I eat a little, I'm usually fine.
Do you take anything to help you digest lactose?
Yeah, I can eat Lactaid, which basically is just supplemental lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose. With that, I'm golden.
