Lactase enzyme tablets are relatively cheap and easy to carry at least a few around at all times
@jqubed
for some items they work well with, but liquid milk is a roll of the die for me...
Check the pack it should give you a recommended tablet limit. The ones I get are 1 glass of milk wich makes it fine for 99% of things.
It might be milkshakes bring all the boys to your yard and you need an additional tablet.
I have to eat 6 tablets if I eat ice cream. If I don't, it's three am vomiting for me. :/
That sounds like something else. Never had vomiting caused by lactose intolerance before
That’s a good point since I think the lactose intolerance becomes an issue in the intestines. The person you’re replying to might want to consult with a doctor.
I remember seeing this back on Reddit a while ago, but you may be Casein intolerant rather than Lactose intolerant, it's less common but the same effects. Some dairy products have more Casein than Lactose.
