I am mildly lactose intolerant since I was little. I know that I tolerate dairy products some days better than others, and I must have a certain amount of milk. A couple of weeks ago, I had a lemon meringue pie and a large glass of milk. Of course, since it's so mild, I never think anything of it. Well, minutes later I started to feel weird like I was going to throw up. My stomach was feeling weird making me feel weird and gases flowing back and forth around in my stomach. I remembered that it was a reaction to the milk, and I know if I have too much I can have weird reactions.
I want to avoid dairy products, but I don't know how to live without milk because I have oatmeal. I have never tried that with water. I think it's so weird, and it'll never taste the same. I also like coffee, so...aaaahh!!
I tried soy milk, but a month later I got real bad case of severe acne around my jawline. I know some doctors say food don't have any effect on acne, but I really don't believe that to be true. After I stopped the soy, the acne went away. That was the only real change I made at that time. They were so weird because I never got acne like that ever.
Also, I never want to get used to Lactose pills because I don't think it's healthy to take pills all of the time. I think it's best to avoid the source of reaction as much as possible or take something natural instead.
