The Lactose Intolerant Compassion Thread

[Ya_Big_Tree]

Are you like me, and cant enjoy a piece of cheese without becoming violently ill.

Well than I think you will agree that it is time for some compassion for this horrible condition.

 

Argh... feel free to vent or cry without fear of ridicule.

I would hate that. I can live without milk, yogurt, or even ice cream, but I loves me some cheese.

I have a friend like this. She's fine for a couple of hours after eating dairy, but when it strikes - she says she's always sure she's just eaten her last meal.

 

So. . .no chocolate for you either?

[Lady April]

Oh HELL no! I'd better be dam allergic to the sh*t for me to stop eating/drinking it all together

[fledgehog]

i'm not lactose intolerant but i cant f***ing stand milk

[PanaceaFish]

Ach!!! I'm one of the unfortunates that is LACTOSE INTOLLERANT!!

 

And the sucky part is I love cheese and ice cream (but not milk so much), and if I should decide to indulge in either, forget about it!!

 

As a matter of fact, I had some yummy ice cream yesterday, and today did I ever pay the price!! The gas cramps are enough to make me wish I were dead...

 

God, I hate this, for it never used to be this way...

[Arleen2112]

I feel bad for people who have this problem

 

I don't think I could handle not being able to have icecream

[yaoi_myantidrug]

wow. I dont eat a lot of dairy products (cheese, ice cream) but I probably drink 2 gallons of milk a week. You're pretty tough for putting up with this

[rushgoober]

I used to think I was lactose intolerant because when I woul eat dairy (well, milk and cheese) I would get very stuffed up and/or have a runny nose. I thought it was related to an allergic reaction, but apparently being lactose intolerant has more to do with an inability to digest it properly. I didn't realize that!

 

For years I didn't have milk or cheese because the physical reactions would be so unpleasant when I did, but one day decided to try it again and I didn't have the same reactions anymore, so I continued. Mind you, I don't ever drink milk anymore, but I still do regularly indulge in cheese. Thank God too, because it was heartbreaking for me to give up cheese. I feel for people who can't eat it for whatever reason.

 

Then again, I still stay away completely from sugar as I've gotten terrible reactions from eating it. I don't really miss it though. It's hard to miss what you just can't have after years of getting used to not having it...

[nettiesaur]

I'm allergic, so none of that stuff for me, chocolate too.

 

Yes I can live without them but it's not fun!

[gleamingalloyaircar81]

Its funny you should say that it never used o be this way. I remember when I was a kid and dairy products were fine on my stomach but one day when I was a teenager all of a sudden no more dairy products unless I wanted to not sleep that night. Im wondering if around that time farmers or the dairy industry changed something about their dairy products.

 

I hardly ever drink milk. Only in foods that my mom makes for dinner and boy do I pay for it later.

[Slacker]

Milkman hate to hear when a person cannot enkoy Dairy Products!

 

I feel for you, YBT

Where's geddyfan13 to weigh in on this?

My husband can come in from mowing the lawn or whatever and go straight for the milk jug. I don't get it. Milk is not at all thirst-quenching. It just gives you thick spit.

I used to argue with the cafeteria ladies in high school all the time; we HAD to take the milk, even though all I ever did was toss it right in the garbage unopened (I brought soda from home, with the can wrapped in foil to keep it cold).

Soy milk isn't bad. I use it in protein shakes.

Ditto on soymilk. For years I had an almost constant low grade sinus infection. Dental hygienists would always point it out to my dentist, and he'd say it's nothing to worry about. I once asked him what can I do, and he said move from New Jersey (he was serious).

Anyway, a couple years ago, for no good reason whatsoever, I tried soy milk, vanilla flavored. I drink it or use it on my cereal all the time now, instead of milk, and the only time the congestion seems to come back is when I've been having a lot of ice cream or cheese. The soy subsitutes for those don't cut it for me.

Cappucino flavored soy milk is great as a treat, and there's also a hazelnut soy "creamer" for coffee that rocks.

[Did Lee Squat?]

Ick..... I can't stand milk unless I'm eating chocolate or cereal, and even them it's only a small amount.

 

I really do feel bad for you guys because I couldn't live without cheese and ice cream and chocolate.

Also if you are a woman it gives your boobs a bit of a boost because of the estrogen in soy.

[Alsgalpal]

Ok, so, here's one for ya.

 

 

I can have cheese, ice cream, chocolate. But, the first moment I drink a glass of milk, I'm done for.

 

 

Why is that? If I put milk in anything, I am a hurting woman. It's only milk too.

 

Marathonist, I dig the thick spit comment.

[-D-RocK-]

Meh, dairy is over-rated anyway.

 

And personally I think cow's milk is for cows........well calves.

 

There are plenty of other ways to get your calcium.

[Tarkus406]

Yaya I feel bad for you. I'm so sorry you can't have the world's greatest food (cheese). I've never been lactose intolerant but I do know that if I became LI I would probably cry for weeks. I'm sorry again.

 

you even though you hate cheese
