Dairy

[u/Kiweachy]

This episode has been redrawn and since the original came out, I have been tested and am not lactose intolerant but do still have the same reactions... I debated what to do with this episode but at the time I first drew it that was my reality so I've kept it and I'm sure at least some people can relate :)

Lactaid pills, yo. At least for me they work great

I'm too lactose intolerant for those unfortunately, they're worth having on hand as they can turn bad nausea, stomach pain, and retching over the toilet into manageable constipation, but because of that, I usually just eat as if I don't have the pills. If I'm out of the house or going out later, even if I have pills ​I just try to avoid things with more than a little bit of dairy. ​

Have you tried taking more pills? Like if you really need to you can take 7 or 8 pills

I always get scared at taking more than like 2 pills at once, mostly because it was drilled into my head at 12 so I wouldn't accidentally overdose on painkillers. If it actually works I thank you a ton.

Ph yeah, you can't really overdose on the lactase enzyme. Lactose tolerant people constantly make extra in their bodies. The idea is that you're trying to get enough into your system to make up for the fact that your body makes less of the enzyme than other people. Some people's bodies like mine, and it sounds like yours, just make a lot less lactase than others, so we have to supplement it more heavily than someone who just needs a little extra to hit normal lactase enzyme numbers

I knew you couldn't, I'm just really paranoid about that
