    The funny thing is I stopped drinking milk and eating dairy for a couple of years almost by accident. I started drinking black coffee, never eat cereal, rarely eat cake with cream, only have cheese sparingly. Now, whenever I do drink milk I get the shits something rotten. I actually have given myself (mild) lactose intolerance. IT CAN BE DONE.

      68% of the world population has some form of lactose intolerance

      You’d be in the minority if you didn’t have some intolerance

        What? So if I drank a glass of milk, neat and walk it off without problems. I’m the weird one?

      My wife is lactose intolerant and we always have soya milk in the house. I don’t drink tea or coffee and only have milk for cereal, so I just have been having soya for about 15 years.

      When my son was a bit older we thought we’d make some milk shakes for him and his friends. I had one too, and boom. Massive shits and wind. Never used to be a problem for.me but now it is.

      I did all the same things as you and I’m generally ok UNTIL I HIT THE DAIRY QUEEN, I generally have to have a shit (explosive diarrhea) break halfway through my Blizzard like clockwork.
