    I think it’s possible I’m at least a bit lactose intolerant. I haven’t really looked into it because I know I’m not stopping, so what’s the point? Is life without milk, butter, and cheese even a life worth living? I seriously doubt it. No offense to those living worthless lives who can’t help it!

      There’s a whole world of culinary delight waiting for you when you realize that dairy isn’t the only flavor! I became severely lactose intolerant a long time ago. It was sad at first, but after trying a variety of Indian, Chinese, Korean, and other Asian dishes, I found it to be a lot more enjoyable. There’s so much more to life than using mountains of cheese and rivers of gravy to make something taste good.

      They make little pills you take before you eat all that lactose that help you digest it without being miserable. So you can do something of you know you’re lactose intolerant short of giving it up.

        It hit me suddenly and violently at age 56. Hit my mother around 50. No pizza or ice cream for me, but I have always loved sharp chesses and still enjoy them without problems.

      Butter and most hard cheeses have very little lactose. If you look at the nutrition information and there’s 0g sugar in a dairy product? That’s lactose free.

      I love me some dairy, not lactose intolerant in the least, but I ain’t gon touch cheese. That shit wrecks my gut and tastes more foul than an acidic fart. Turned dairy (cheese, curds, sour cream, yogurt, etc.) just does not work for me for whatever reason.
