lol. My intolerance is pretty bad. I'm not sure when it started, but I'm thinking it was around 10 years ago or so. I take lactaid pills/lactase enzyme, and that usually just delays the process. If I don't take the pills, I'll get diarrhea in about 10 to 15 minutes after eating. If I take the pills, I might be good for a couple hours or so but I usually end up with diarrhea anyway. About 1% of the time I digest the dairy products without any issues. I try to avoid dairy for the most part - no butter on buns at burger joints if I can remember to say it, no steak butter at steakhouses, no cheese, etc. I do give in fairly often though (at least a couple times a week)...eat something and hope the pills work. Yesterday at work we had pizza for some lady's going away thing, and I ate three pieces and then ate two pieces of cake (also had dairy). It's difficult
I went to jason's deli last week and I ate their ice cream (plus six pills). Did have any issues
Other times I'll eat ice cream and my day is over cuz I'll be in and out of the bathroom for hours
