What are ways you combat Lactose Intolerance?

Lactose Intolerance is a common condition in adults worldwide. We all know about the Lactaid pills. I find that adding in a soluble fiber supplement such as Benefiber also helps ease the symptoms of the condition. What are some ways you have come up with to help alleviate this condition?

Martin,

Simply put: Just eliminate milk form your diet. These are the reasons:

1. This is what you get in a glass of milk: 8% blood, 3-5% pus, 13-20% dead or semi-dead bacterias, about 34 natural occurring hormones with their metabolites, toxin-filled fat, degraded proteins (thanks to pasteurization), no iron whatsoever, 6 proven carcinogenics (including the fearful IGF-1), artificial nutrients added to reconstitute it, mucous-forming proteins (such as casein), powerful addictive alkaloids (such as beta-casomorphine-7), etc.

2. In 1988 Dr. Frank Oski, former president of the American Society of Pediatrics, opened a frontal war against the milk industry for its many lies and lack of consistency regarding their so many flawed scientific studies which set milk above many true natural foods. He wrote a book titled "Don't Drink Your Milk".

3. Cow's milk definitely lays the foundation for cardiovascular diseases, thyroid problems, overweight and obesity, breast, prostate & colon cancer, autism, and a variety of inflammatory disorders affecting the immune system.

4. And then you got the lactose intolerance... It happens naturally even though milk may come with the enzyme lactase by default, because the enzyme renine which abides in the intestines for the first 3-5 years of the child life just disappear as if saying: you don't need milk any more!

5. Last but not least: cow's milk is for calf, friend, and not for humans. :)

But if you still decide to drink milk, then let me advice you to take 2 TBSP of Blackstrap Molasses per day. It will definitely help you cope with the symptoms successfully.

BTW, Soy Milk or Almond Drink are good choices if you're seriously considering stopping milk.

Become more tolerant of it!

Don't consume milk products. Very simple.

yeah seriously. the only way to combat the symptoms of lactose intolerance is to not eat dairy products. lactose intolerance occurs because the people who have it don't have a particular enzyme -- lactase. this is needed to break down the sugar in dairy products called lactose. thus, when lactase isn't present and one consumes lactose, you get sick.
