Reviews for Lactaid

For Lactose Intolerance "After discovering that all medications I was taking had lactose in them. Also finding out I was taking the wrong lactaid. I found that I must use the fast acting kind. My problems have all but disappeared. I can tolerate some sharp cheddar cheese. When eating out I take 2 fast acting at every meal because like it was said before, lactose can hide in a lot of places. I can have a lactose free meal at home and still have to take 2 lactaid because of warfarin I take that has lactose as a filler. My stomach is much better because of lactaid."

For Lactose Intolerance "I find Lactaid pills original work very well for me taken as directed, 3 at a time with first bite. I have extreme lactose intolerance that causes vomiting diarrhea. But Lactaid prevents those effects completely. No side effects."

For Lactose Intolerance "The first time I took this I experience extreme stomach ache , believing that my body was just not used to it . Few hours later I experience diarrhea. I was very confused but I used it again the next few days and the second time it did the same thing . The only difference was I experienced horrible vomiting my throat was burning so bad I was in horrible pain. After doing some research about it , many people have experience the same thing. DON’T BUY THEM NOT WORTH IT"

For Lactose Intolerance "I have a mild lactose intolerance. I had a cheeseburger a few days ago which usually only gives me a small stomachache, but about 15 minutes after taking this I had a MASSIVE one. The next day I thought that maybe it didn’t work because I chewed it. So I tried it again with some yogurt (which gives me a pretty bad stomachache but not crazy) and once again, MASSIVE stomachache. DO NOT TAKE THIS!"

For Lactose Intolerance "I have become very sensitive to lactose. Although I only eat low lactose food such as cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, yogurt it was causing severe gastric problems that were hard to pinpoint. After a few cheesey and yogurty days, I realized the association. Lactaid got me through those leftovers. Now I take Lactaid whenever eating food I don't prepare and I am symptom free. No negative side affects. I will use the little travel case when eating out. I won't be eating dairy like I was but using Lactaid gives me assurance. After struggling for years, Lactaid is a sweet solution.:-)"

For Lactose Intolerance "Took 2 chewable lactose tablets approximately 4 minutes prior to having sausage gravy with milk. Before I took my first bite of food, my abdomen was bloated with gas (we're talking 45-60 seconds of flatulence). This is worse than just having milk. Nausea accompanied, within another 8-10 minutes, and diarrhea within 30 minutes. I'd taken it before and it worked about half the time. One thing to note: I am on a carnivore diet for the past 4 years, so my gut biome is drastically different than what it used to be. Without taking Lactaid and staying away from milk products, I do not have gas ever. Nor do I get diarrhea. I am strict on this diet. I had no biscuits with this meal, only eggs and sausage gravy made with milk, but the symptoms started before my first bite of food and only after taking the medication. So there's an anecdotal correlation and only a possible causation. More studies should be done."

For Lactose Intolerance "Lactaid definitely helps when eating milk products but it also caused severe constipation as some other users have reported."

For Lactose Intolerance "Lactaid is a God send. One pill was sufficient for me. After not being diagnosed for 5 1/2 months of stomach agony, I am a true believer of this medication. I can't say enough good things about it."
