<p>Is anyone here Lactose Intolerant?</p>
<p>I am..
And it sucks..</p>
<p>Also. How does someone get Lactose Intolerant.. Seriously.. I never got that</p>
<p>Hi! I’m lactose intolerant. I was when I was little, then it went away, and now it decided to come back. Apparently most mammals are born lactose intolerant, except to their mother’s milk, but grow out of it. Milk isn’t really something people were made to digest. </p>
<p>Lactaid milk doesn’t taste bad - have you tried it? I mix it with something else like strawberries or chocolate.</p>
<p>Well, no other mammals drink milk past infancy. And they especially don’t drink other species’ milk. </p>
<p>Most people lose the ability to digest lactose (milk sugar) well as they get older because the expression of lactase decreases (historically it was a useless enzyme past a certain point, so there was no pressure or feedback to tell our body to keep producing it - it would just have been a waste of energy). The exception to this is if you continually drink milk, which upregulates the expression of lactase, and allows you to keep drinking it.</p>
<p>Why does it suck? many people dislike milk anyway.</p>
<p>Well I became Lactose Intolerant like 2 months ago… And so I have not tried Lactacid milk. My mom thinks its nutty to buy milk without it and she told me I’ll grow out of it XD</p>
<p>And it suck because everytime I go to a coffee shop… I cannot EVER order coffee because all they have are skim milk, whole, or fat free. D:</p>
<p>Wait, so there’s a possibility I could become lactose intolerant? That’d be horrible since I love milk</p>
<p>I was lactose intolerant when I was a little girl. As I got older, I grew out of it. I didn’t have much of an issue with it because I hate milk, so you just might have to get used to it. Like they said, try lactaid milk. You might like it.</p>
<p>I’ve been slightly lactose intolerant since 6th grade or so, but it’s gotten worse lately. Now I can’t drink milk or eat whipped cream or anything without vomiting.</p>
<p>The fun part is that I keep forgetting, because this is only a problem recently, and whenever I forget and end up throwing up, my blood sugar gets really high.</p>
