I'm also lactose intolerant and very much understand your pain, BamaVol. As a child I'd drink a glass of milk with nearly every meal and enjoyed pizza, yogurt, cream-based sauces, string cheese, ice cream... Shortly after my 18th birthday, my small intestine decide that it was done breaking down milk sugars. So those of you who aren't currently lactose intolerant, enjoy it while you can because you never know when/if your digestive system will make your meals less enjoyable.

I often end up packing pro-biotic pills to take with me when I travel to keep my stomach happy.
That's about the same pattern I experienced. I was in my late teens when it developed.

I worry about the probiotics since most of them are grown in dairy and there is a dairy residue in the capsule. No problems? I'd love to try it again.
