If the worst effect of lactose intolerance is diarrhea, I think I would choose having diarrhea over not eating cheese.
It's not the diarrhea itself, it's the sudden "critical pressure reached, 30 seconds until launch" moments that make things difficult.
I know the feeling. I tried extended fasting a couple of times. After the third day it looks exactly as what You described. I shat on my couch the first time I tried it.
It can also last for hours and be rather painful. I spent the entire night crying in my friends bathroom.
Me after a Chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries. To this day I don't know why I did it without taking my pills.
I see this experience inspired your username.
Ever tried those Buldak ramen? Similar experience.
For me it’s several hours of pain, like I ate plastic, and no diarrhea. I always carry lactaid pills on me because I can’t give up dairy. So there is a way to do it. But I still forget to take em and keep screwing myself over but I keep trying cuz cheese
You know that they make cheese out of nuts, too. And there isn't any lactose.
Well then it’s not cheese.
I’ve had vegan Alfredo sauce and vegan pizza on several occasions and it isn’t worth my $
After reading the comments I can assume, lactose intolerance is like combining the effects of eating extremely hot food with extended fasting. Seams rough. But on the other hand, cheese. The second best thing You can eat. Totally worth it.
