Symptom Free since 2007
I have known I was lactose intolerance for over ten years, but looking back I believe the problem started before that. I had a lot of acid and was always eating antacids. My problem was so severe that even the amount of milk in bread would cause gas and acid. I was unable to tolerate even 1 creamer in a cup of coffee. Unless I made the meal I assumed that there was milk somewhere and always I took pills to be on the safe side. I never felt right. Not sick, just not right.
For years I used lactase enzymes then I found a once a day product. I took 2 every morning. These were a great improvement over the lactase enzymes because it prevented accidents. The once a day pills worked but keeping a supply was expensive and I was always in fear that I would run out or when traveling that I might lose my supply. I still used the lactase enzymes if I had something like ice cream as extra support.
When I first heard of Lactagen I did not believe it would work. Then, I read the reports of people who had tried it and decided I would give it a try. I love dairy products and really missed feeling free to enjoy them completely. Over the years I had spent a lot of money on products that were a temporary fix so the price of the Lactagen seemed small if it really would work.
We have a dairy farm near bye that sells fresh milk. For years I have wanted to have a glass, but did not dare to take even a taste. As I neared the end of the Lactagen treatment I purchased a 1/2 gal. The morning I had been waiting for arrived. I trembled in fear. If Lactagen failed me I would be in agony for two days. I hesitated for over an hour. But, I was hungry so I poured a bowl of my favorite cereal and then 8 ounces of milk. Slowly I ate my cereal enjoying every bite, but expecting at any moment for the discomfort to begin. I waited, no gas, no acid, no pain, I felt GREAT. It has been several weeks and I have NO problem with any dairy foods. My body feels different, better. I cannot explain how, but it is just an overall feeling of improved health. Thank you Lactagen, this was worth every penny.
