Then, on his instructions, I ate a pint of my favorite ice cream (Ben & Jerry's Phish Phood). Within minutes, I was bloated and passing gas, lots of stinky gas. Shortly therafter, I had gut-emptying diarrhea.
Sorry to be graphic, but it's such a relief not to face that anymore.
I feel your pain. I have the same problem. I take the (3 pills) lactaid pills with all dairy. I can tolerate small amounts of Greek yogurt (Fage brand only) and hard cheese without the pills.
I don't like the taste of lactaid milk. So I drink the 30 calorie per serving Almond Breeze milk.
Trust me, the farts were worse than my Jack Russell terriers!
