Description
In bed today with a fever of 102, so quick posting early and then back to bed. Booo.This is a walk through my denial and acceptance of being Lactose Intolerant. It's only funny b/c I spent so long denying it, even though the signs were there.
The last panel is a common reason I would give: "It can't be, b/c I LIKE dairy!"
Stay tuned for part two: Acceptance!
Enjoy!

I'm lactose intolerant. There are these pills you can take in the morning so you can still eat dairy stuff, so it's not super bad.

I haven't found any that last the whole day, I've only found ones that last a half an hour. Plus, they're really tough to get in Japan, so I have a limited supply from home.

Ah, yeah. They sell them on Amazon, but that probably is super expensive to ship that far...

yeah. Mostly, I just get my mom to pick me up a few each year ^_^;;

I know the feeling, except I developed an allergic reaction. It's been 2 1/2 years and I still miss cheese. ;-;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh maaaan! an allergy REALLY sucks >_<
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hahaha I know the feeling. I love dairy so much that I just take lactose intolerance medicine so I can still eat it. I refuse to give up cheese.

My dad's lactose intolerant and I'm so afraid that I will be in the future! Everything I currently eat has milk in it. Mac&Cheese, Pizza, anything with cheese (I'm in love with cheese). I think I'd die if I became lactose intolerant!

That was exactly what I said too, "I'll die if I become lactose intolerant!" But here we are T____T

D: Same here, but not with lactose.
With gluten [wheat, barley, or rye]
WHICH IS IN EVERYTHING.
but most importantly, cake, waffles, muffins, donuts... TT.TT
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH NO!! That one is also bad T_T At least I can eat french bread, but yup, cake, donuts, muffins, those are out for me too T_T Also some snacks use lactose in their seasoning powder. And all the cheap chocolate puts lactose in. M&Ms WHYYYY

DDD: That's saaaad.
I LOVE m&ms!

Get well soon!
I'm still in denial after all these years... I avoid the milk drink but still eat the cheese, the ice cream and the chocolates. XD I just make sure my stomach contains something non-dairy before I take them.

Thanks! ^_^
I drink small amounts of milk and do cream cheese and stuff, but I avoid ice cream and the lactose filled chocolates T_T

Ahh, I'm lactose intolerant as well.

I think I'm getting worse thought T_T Like, even bread with milk makes me feel ill now >_<
Yeah, I haven't found any lactose free milk, but that would be great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my, is there any medicine you can take? D: I think I remember my parents giving me some tablets to help.
I wish I knew where lactose-free milk could be found in Japan. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I had my mom send me about 4 bottles at xmas, and I've gone through one already ^_^;;;
I'll keep my eyes open ^_^

Yep, that's what happened to me too when I went to college. I miss being able to eat big amounts of ice cream and drink chocolate milk when I wanted. I'm surprised that you can be lactose intolerant to chocolate though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The cheaper chocolates, like hersheys and M&Ms and stuff put straight lactose into their chocolate. Also, the chocolates with super large amounts of cream are out T_T

I feel ya! I've been lactose intolerant since I was a baby - heck I couldn't even drink milk when I was born because it would make me violently ill... now I'm taking lactose pills that taste like baby powder - though they only work half the time.

I found some lactose pills that work pretty well, but it's always a toss up, knowing how many to take for what level of dairy. They don't take away all the problems, but they remove the pain, which is the worst part for me ^_^;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
eh the problem with me is that I'll forget to take mine in the mornings and then accidentally drink some milk.. 10 to 15 mins later I'm always like "ugh 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, it sounds like you have meds that last longer. mine are the instant, take before eating, only lasts 30 minutes ones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mine are suppose be to "take one every 6 to 8 hours"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh woooow. I wish I had ones like that T_T if they worked, that is ^_^;;

feel better!!!!!!!! my mom is lactose intolerant too. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no! Yeah, it's no fun ^_^;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
at least you live in Japan! It's easier finding things without milk in them there then in America I hear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
See, that's what I heard too, but it seems like everything I buy has milk, or even PURE LACTOSE in it. It drives me insane T_T
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is true ^_^ Most of the traditional Japanese food doesn't have any dairy in it, which is good, but sometimes I want some western food. Also, they love shoving cream into their bread and pastries here.

I would say you could always treat your self once in a while but I don't think feeling sick would exactly be treating yourself. XD
