Testimonial of the Month: Khalil B – August 2010

Name: Khalil B

Years Suffered: 18 years

LI really took a toll on what I could consume. The first few years were much more difficult than the last few were, because in the first years I would not know what I could avoid since it seemed like everything had in a bit of milk. Milk was in simple pasta dishes, cakes, high quality protein shakes… Everything. By the 5th year, I learned to avoid most foods especially dessert (which wasnt a problem, because I wasnt a fan of desserts to start with). However my favourite food which was baked macaroni and cheese, I had to avoid with a passion. Even though I had some really good lactase supplements (Lactaid and later Digestive Advantage – Lactose Intolerance Therapy) after some time they would stop working and I would suffer from the symptoms again. I really thought that this was just a life condition that I’d just have to live through. (thank goodness for most Asian foods, which generally use little milk)

I really couldnt believe that this program would work. In fact I’d seen Lactagen about 2 years prior to actually starting the program, because I was a sceptic. I felt that I’d read all the literature about how LI works and because the enzyme is no longer present in my digestive track, how could Lactagen work?! The most decisive moment to try Lactagen came when I took a trip to South America and where I had to avoid MANY dishes because many dishes, thought it felt like all dishes, contained some type of milk. I thought “man, Im going to try this lactagen, and hopefully it works”…

T.H.I.S. I.S. F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C!! I had pizza, without taking a pill, without and without having to worry! I can finally eat macaroni and cheese again… Im not big into desserts, but finally I can eat my favourite two, Cheesecake and Carrot Cake! It feels like freedom from the very embarrasing moments. I’ve got to tell you the last 3 days when you have to drink milk are some SCARY days, because knowing what would have happened normally, I was preparing for the worst and NOTHING…. Nothing happened Full Disclosure: I still do have some rumblings when I have some types of dairy e.g one day I had a ceasar salad and a cheesecake and felt a little uneasy, however the uneasyness was much more manageable than normal. In general after that episode, eating moderate amounts of dairy is fine. I even drank a glass of chocolate milk when I was out and around town. AND I WAS FINE… THANKS LACTAGEN!!! For the past 18 years i’ve suffered with this problem… It’s great to be freee

Looking for Lactose-Free Bread?

Bread is a staple item, so many things we eat and enjoy revolve around bread!  Just think French baguette…so delicious!  However, finding lactose-free bread can be like finding a needle in a haystack.  Most brands you will find at supermarket contain lactose, as do most bread loaves at your bakery. If you’ve ever thought to yourself it’d be much simpler to make your own lactose free bread than go through the process of finding it, then you are in the right place!

Since bread is a common component of many diets, we are including the following recipe to help you create your own bread lactose free!

The ingredients you will need are:

• 2 Cups of Warm Water (Recommended temp of 110F)
• ¼ Cup of Vegetable Oil
• 2/3 Cup of White Sugar
• 6 Cups of Bread Flour
• 1 ½ tsp of Salt
• 1 ½ tbsp of Dry Yeast (Active)

How to make:

Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and proceed to dissolve in the sugar. Stir in the yeast and allow mixture to proof until a creamy foam results.

Stir the vegetable oil and salt into this mixture. Add the flour in one cup at a time, mixing each in thoroughly. Begin kneading the dough until smooth over a lightly floured board before placing the dough into a deep and well oiled bowl, turning to coat completely. Cover the top of the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough stand for around an hour, until it has risen and doubled in size.

Knead the dough for a few more minutes punching it down, before dividing into two portions of equal size. Shape each portion into a loaf before placing each into two well oiled loaf pans 9×5” in size. Allow dough to once more for another 30 minutes, until the dough is roughly 1” above the pans.

At this point proceed to bake the loaves at 350F for roughly 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Symptom Free: 18 Months

I wanted to share with you guys the success I achieved with Lactagen.  Lactose Intolerance ruined countless days for me, including parties, holidays, and vacations.  When I finally got diagnosed with Lactose Intolerance and began using Lactaid and other generic lactase enzyme pills, it was fine for a while, but it was only treating the symptoms, not getting to the root of the problem.  When someone referred me to Lactagen, I figured it was worth a try, and it was.  Since completing the Lactagen program over 18 months ago, I have been symptom free.  It is an awesome feeling to be able to have pizza, coffee with cream in it, and even a full glass of milk without any symptoms.  The severe stomach pains I once felt are a thing of the past, and I am completely satisfied with this product.  Thank you so much.

Health Consequences and Nutrition Solutions

Attached here you will find a link to a PDF file from The National Dairy council titled Health Consequences and Nutrition Solutions, which is a nifty resource for all the information on lactose intolerance you could possibly need.  It also offers some additional guidelines on how to effectively manage your lactose intolerance.  There are professional speakers who comment on the symptoms and effects of lactose intolerance and they even offer their own guidance and support.  It’s a really informative packet.
