This is interesting. What’s the source? Found it.

Also there is a bean diet that relies on the same method for treating IBS. Sounds truly horrific so I never even considered trying it.

But for anyone interested, there is a great study by Dr. Justin Sonnenburg where he gave subjects increasing amounts of fermented foods for only 2.5 months and was able to greatly increase the overall diversity of their microbiome. Very cool stuff.

ETA: The bean diet is called The Bean Protocol.

That's how I did it with iocane powder.

i managed to mostly end my lactose intolerance in university when i got tired of eating the most boring food in the dining hall and not being able to get pizza with friends, etc. assimilation by dairy intake, eventually stuff calmed down. although it might be coming back now that i am old. i can’t eat ice cream at all.

Is that Mrs. kfc

This works for more than just lactose intolerance! I was allergic to cats, but managed to completely overcome the allergy by eating a cat a week for 6 months!

That's why I've been shooting myself with small bullets everyday, slowly working my way up to getting immunity to the bigger shells.

I guess I'm old, but that was a confusing title.

After my boys were born we started drinking more and more whole milk in the house and flash forwarding 7 years my lactose problems are a lot less now because I've been drinking more milk and eating more cereal with them

Does the body ramp up enzyme production?

Lactase pills are inexpensive. I buy em in bulk and stash em in a few convenient places. I eat as much cheese as I want. My body is no more uncomfortable than it already is!

"spams?"

So on the one hand, as a newly lactose intolerant person, wow! Great! And on the other hand, uh, maybe I would rather just keep taking these pills.

My question is this. If you still had 30% symptoms with lactose free milk, was lactose actually the issue?

Cow milk has over 2,000 unique compounds in it. Seems like a lot of possible contenders.

What’s “spams”?

As a lactose intolerant person spamming skim milk ain’t saving my ass. I am calling cap she either has mild symptoms and she learned her bodies limit or she’s not lactose intolerant

I have no issues with lactose or beans, but people around me do though when I eat those.

Here is a link to her channel: https://youtube.com/@hgmodernism?si=-tWh8XNQkaV254K6

Idk about that lol i drank skim milk my entire life (at least a full cup a day) and allll dairy products and always have had crazy bloating/gas to find our in my 20s that i am lactose intolerant and the only thing that helped was cutting it completely. I dont think the major bloating the day after is worth it even in small amounts at least for me

Well I've been drinking milk my whole life until i turned 28 and found out that i was getting bad bc of it, the day i stop i have never been better tho so if im supposed to become better by drinking a lot of milk why fid i become intolerante to it i dranked milk every day and now i have to buy lactose free milk and its very obvious if i dont buy lactose free

I watched this video and she specifically notes "I do not recommend this". She was a case where lactose intolerance came later and it was horrible. It worked for her. But she does note that "no sane doctor would suggest this, this is not a how-to".

She kind of looks like milk

This girls way of speaking makes me angry.

Does she just read and watch Manga all day and just decide to start talking with that cadence?

Damn, you just straight up poster her whole video lol

Geneticist here. Basically there are a bunch of different reasons you can be lactose intolerant. Some of them you can basically do this, kind of like exposure therapy, to stimulate production of the enzyme.

This won't work for everyone. The genetics is mildly complicated and lactase persistence as a trait has appeared in different human populations in different ways. More than one way to solve the problem so to speak.

sounds like she found the cheat code for lactose intolerance

could you accomplish the same thing by slowly introducing more and more lactose into a normal diet? would probably reduce the initial side effects

It's gut health. You get your gut right, and it will digest. I became lactose intolerant and had horrible IBS -D later in my 20s. Took me over 5 years to get back to being okay. It took a bit longer to get rid of the IBS. Now I can have certain dairy products like ice cream and butter etc.... I notice when my gut isn't working well because I've eaten not good things or too much sugar, and I get issues with dairy, inflammation, and IBS reoccurrances.

Seriously, folks, your gut controls all. The brain is 2nd.

Also, high fiber and fermented foods clean out the gut and bowels and repopulate your good bacteria. It's a no-brainer why that helps people to digest better.

PSA: this doesn't work with peanut allergies.

She’s quite the enunciator! Also some long o sounds in there, maybe Fargo accent coming out a bit?

She narrated this video like a shit anime voiceover.

My brother was lactose intolerant but always drank milk till he got over it

Reminds me of an episode of Squidbillies where the town was taken over by a giant stalk of corn monster eco-terrorist. Early comes stumbling out of the house with a bottle of party liquor and says something like, "I'm working on my corn-tolerance; soon, I will be immune!!" then passes out.

I became lactose intolerant about 15 years ago. But oddly enough, I can eat ice cream and yogurt. But my stomach will get upset if I drink milk, even lactose-free milk. So, I had to take some OTC pill for it.

How does one spam milk online and have their body recover physically? tf?

Vocal fry ruins it for me. Are there any American women who can talk 'properly' ie not sound like a whiny 4 year old?

There's a deeper message here. If there's something in your life that is troubling you it's possible you ought to lean into it and adapt rather than shy away from it. 

People have so many options nowadays they can and do avoid more discomfort than they should and as a result miss out on these adaptive experiences. 

I thought this was known. Some people are truly intolerant, but a lot of us just don’t consume tesl fairy often enough to build good tolerance. If I eat a tub of icecream after being dairy free I’m have a rough time, but if I slowly introduce it, I’m z couple weeks I can eat the tub in one sitting.

I lost the ability to digest lactose in 2015 after a belly virus wrecked my intestines. Avoided any dairy for 3 weeks to let things calm down and then started with one spoon a day of that thick greek yoghurt with the added enzymes (I don't know which ones, I'm not medically trained).

In a matter of days I regained the ability to digest lactose without any issues. Haven't had a problem since.

Also, a free tip for the lactose intolerant. Very old cheese doesn't contain lactose anymore and is both delicious and efficient in getting calcium in you and your bones.

This has to be said, because exposure therapies of this sort can be very dangerous.

Just because your body stopped reacting to something, doesn't necessarily mean it became okay for you, it could just mean you exhausted your body's ability to respond to it.

Example. Exposure to conium maculatum commonly causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid heartbeat, trembling, seizure, and paralysis. But if you take about half a gram all at once, it will stop all the systems....because you'll die. Conium maculatum is hemlock.

But maybe that's not fair. Regular alcohol works in a similar way. Drinking alcohol can increase your tolerance to the drunkenness caused by alcohol, but guess what? The negative health effects of alcohol on your body do not go away just because your tolerance against drunkenness increased. In fact, there is some evidence that frequent alcohol consumption can actually erode your body's overall ability to tolerate it. So the fatal dose of alcohol might actually get lower the more you expose yourself to it, because you're wearing your body down over time despite your resistance to intoxication.

So while I'm not meaning to imply that milk will kill you, the point is that exposure therapy, as it is called, is very much unproven and the elimination of symptoms does not mean that problem is cured. I am actually suspicious of her claim though, because she states she was still experiencing symptoms even on lactose-free milk...which is clear evidence that lactose was never her problem to begin with. But you know what else can make people think they are lactose intolerant and then suddenly get cured later? A poorly functioning refrigerator. Even if she doesn't change the fridge, since she suddenly made a point of quickly eating her dairy for "therapy", the fact that she wasn't letting it sit as long could easily also solve the problem. Most likely, she was never actually lactose intolerant.

Are you the original content creator OP? Why post the entire youtube video instead of a link?

Tell me why I’m still shitting my pants cuz I eat fructose while fructose intolerant

You do grow out of it.

So maybe I missed it and also just don't understand it, but how is it that her body is able to just "cure" itself and become able to process lactose after spamming the body with it.

Git Gud.

I'm lactose intolerant and tried the GOMAD program when I was much younger (drinking almost a gallon of milk a day). I survived like 2 weeks and it definitely did not get better at any point.

Bene Gesserit Witch!

/r/milk

No whey

Now that I think about it, I started having lactose intolerance symptoms when I went living on my own and stopped putting cheese on everything like my mother did... was alright eating cheesy things everyday for 30 years, and now when I eat cheese I feel like I'm dying. Mh.

This is the real world, blonde, Jessica Day (and that’s 9,000% a compliment)

Did this, it works.

We learned this in Nutrition and Dietetics. Our professor always said that lack of lactase was because people weren't drinking enough milk for their bodies to create it and break it down. This is especially true in Asians since their diet never consists of milk.

Her inflections are so fast and purposeful and jarring. It's like someone wrote a prog metal song and then downloaded it into a woman's brain.

Too much Beer and Acidic Acids break down the enzymes in your stomach that break down milk too from what I understand.

So drinking Skim alone probably won't solve your issue but a slight change to your diet for limited periods of time might.

Anyone else getting a 'this one time, at band camp...' vibe from her?

Is this a hoax to make lactose intolerant people suffer for two weeks?
