Milk without Lactaid

I accidentally had milk without Lactaid last night. I already have D. But my case of Lactose Intolerance is so severe I throw up too. I am at work. I feel so sick. My whole body hurts. I feel icky. I cannot believe I messed up like this. I am trying so hard to make it through the day. I know if I throw up I will have to go home because when I throw up it comes out both ends and there is no way for that to really work here. I was so proud of myself for finally pushing through sickness and making myself come to work even though I felt bad and know this. UGH

isn't lactaid a brand of lactose free milk?? my dad drinks it.

sorry you feel so bad. I've had many days of throwing up while pooping. it definitely makes you feel like crap and so dehydrated.

Lactaid does have a milk product too sorry I should have been more clear

Yeah and digestive advantage actually has one that depending on how intolerant you are you can take one or two a day and eat dairy and not get sick. I am just so intolerant that does not work for me. But I take lactaid pills when I eat dairy and I am ok. They are in the pharmacy near the pepto bismol and immodium.

Oh wow. I am new to this. Just found out in August I was lactose intolerant. I didn't know there were pills to take so you can still have some milk. I miss my cereal. I sill be buying some lactaid pills berg soon. You made my day Teddtlove. :)

Lactose-free milk in the supermarket dairy case is more commonly available in NYC-Boston areas. In NYC we can get several brands besides Lactaid: SkimPlus, Smart Balance, Organic Valley, and Horizon. In Boston area Hood markets lactose-free milk, as does Lactaid. I go for the nonfat or 1% milkfat varieties. For those who ask "Why not abandon milk?"-- it's a good source of calcium, vit D, and protein and tastes good with cereal, cocoa, etc. / Old Hat (33 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

Purchase a separate lactaid quart for yourself. Are you saying you aren't allowed
to do that either? Seems time for adding a little exlax into their chocolate....?

Lactose free milk is not a milk sub, it's milk that has had lactaid added to it. The only difference I ever noticed is it was just a touch sweeter.

Milk is not the only thing that has lactose in it. Even ramen noodles have lactose in them. I can buy Lactaid milk that I can use in cereal and to drink a glass of milk but i can't say make the mashed potatoes with it. I am so sensitive to it that even one piece of mil chocolate sometimes makes me ill.

Lactaid milk is available here in the Southeast where I live. Always has been. I used to use Acidophilus milk also, has a good taste.
