Current Events > I'd hate my life if I was lactose intolerant

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ice cream, shakes, and malts are really some of my favorite things in the world

Nowadays they got all that shit in lactose free forms. Costs a little more though.

Is it as good though

Don't even bother with that. Just buy lactase pills. Take them when you eat dairy and you'll be fine.

i've used lactose-free milk before, and it tastes the same to me

Sometimes. Ben and Jerry's lactose free ice cream feels like ice cream as you're eating it, but doesn't taste like dairy and you'll pick up on it immediately. I didn't mind it, I like most milk substitutes. Others are immediately put off by the taste and would rather have nothing at all. At of of vegan cheeses are made from nuts and while they may melt a certain way the difference between them is night a day, such that I'd rather eat the dairy cheese and suffer than reach for a substitute.

Or just do it in moderation?

I'm lactose intolerant so I drink skim milk, try to eat light ice cream, etc... but even if I go beyond the boundaries, it's not the end of the world to need to go to the bathroom.

Obviously if you really push yourself and end up bloated/vomiting/etc... then that's a different issue.
