Hey everyone,

You guys are right about there being no technical "cure" for lactose intolerance.  We are born without an enzyme and there is no way to get that back so, we can never be "cured".  However, lactagen is the closest thing I've encountered in the 10+ years I've been suffereing from LI.  Lactagen is all natural, and as Nutrition Tara said, is made up of enzymes and probiotics.  But lactagen and lactaid could not be more different. 

Lactaid temporarily puts lactase (the enzyme that breaks down dairy) back into our body so that we can digest lactose for that one time.  It's something that only works for one immediate time and must be taken everytime you eat dairy for it to help.  Having taken lactaid for a number of years I can say that while it did work in the begining, taking the pills all the time was the biggest pain in my butt.  Besides the price for all those pill bottles add up, in the end your spending more to cope with the condition then it would cost to do something about them. 

Lactagen works completely different by retraining your body to handle dairy again.  It strengthens the healthy bacteria inside your digestive tract to the point where they can break down the lactose molecules themselvs.  The way it was explained to me was like teaching blind people to read brail.  There is no way to get your sight back if your blind, but you can learn to see through reading brail.  In this sense lactagen gives your body a new way to handle dairy, so it can be broken down and digested safely and symptom free.  Then you never have to worry about taking any other suppliments again.  There is nothing else out there that can give you your life back like that.

I'm on day 15 of the program and I feel great.  I get a little more energy every day.   No more pills, no more diets.  Hello ice cream and pizza!
