    Daily reminder that if you could digest lactose after being an infant but started being unable to at some point, you probably can “reverse” it by feeding on unhealthy amounts of milk and other lactose containing dairy products for like a week and your gut biome will adapt to digesting it again.

    Source: Like three random YouTube videos I watched 5 months ago but also myself. Avoiding all lactose just reduces your lactase production further so currently I try to drink milk 1-2x a week to keep the cooldown topped up.

      Those make my mouth itch, and lactose free cottage cheese did my system in so I guess I have to swear off dairy. But I can’t give up cheese, I just eat small amounts of it
