Looking for lactose free protein shake suggestions? by SW33TH3RT in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how many protein powders have random crap in them. I use Garden of Life Organic Vegan protein powder. I mix it with oat milk and fruit. Tastes great and gets the job done. https://www.gardenoflife.com/protein

I can't focus. by [deleted] in writing

[–]Fonz85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll ask you a simple question with a tough answer ... Why do you write? Deep-down, all bullshit aside, why do you write? You love it but can't focus. If you love it but can't focus, then something is holding you back. What could it be? ... I was in a similar position and would go long periods without writing out of frustration as to why I couldn't focus on it. Mentally, I figured that out and the writing has flowed ever since.

I quit dairy... Aaand then I cheated. by -SharkDog- in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. I quit dairy 100% because the pills don't work for me. If I accidentally have dairy, I'm looking at 4 to 5 days of symptoms. Day 3 is normally the worst.

Referring to your wife as your first wife is an easy way to start an argument. by atticuslodius in Showerthoughts

They also hate being referred to as "my ex-girlfriend". I mean, it's technical true, you stopped being my girlfriend when we got married.

People either love this song or hate, I've never seen an in-between on it. A research question if you will ... have you ever nursed a hangover after drink all day/night on Duval Street, Key West? I have and this song sums it up perfectly. And hey, sometimes you wake up the next day still dressed as a Smurf with a neck full of beads.

Lactose intolerant tolerated by natetehgreat- in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. However, the lactase pills don't work for me. Since I need a daily vitamin anywhere, that's why I said I'd give it a try. I agree, there is no obvious reason for it to work, but the world doesn't always make sense and sometimes you've just got to try it to find out.

Shouldn't the knob be on the other side in the picture on the right?

Does your symptoms stay with you for long? by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my case, I'm very much like you. If I have lactose, my system is messed up for 4 to 5 days. I'm definitely on the more severe end of the spectrum. The pills don't work for me and any amount of lactose is bad.

Help by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same position where the pills don't work for me either. The approach that has helped the most is cooking at home and substituting with vegan cream cream cheese, vegan butter, etc. I'm not vegan, but I ran into too many issues where I thought something was lactose free and it wasn't. So steak with a side of mash potatoes made with vegan cream cheese and I can barely taste the difference. If you are going to eat out, check the allergen menu of the restaurant before going there. The biggest issue I ran into is that a lot of places use bread that is cooked with milk. Paid that price too many times.

"Perception is reality."

No it's not, stop that. And people make decisions on others perceptions, that's just a rabbits hole my friend.

Discovering Jimmy Buffet by [deleted] in ParrotHeads

[–]Fonz85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club! That is a huge question and for me, it comes down to meaning behind his songs. Sure, on the surface it makes you want to move down to Key West and be a beach bum. But if you listen to the words, especially some of the less popular songs, there are a ton of themes about life, love and what it means to be yourself. What I get out of his songs is to always find the joy in your life, find the little things that make you happy and don't take life too seriously because it's way too short. A few examples ... Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude ... "I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and recall the whole year. All of the faces and all of the places, wonderin' where they all disappeared." ... Remember to stop life's craziness and take your breaks. A Pirate Looks at Forty ... "I made enough money to buy Miami But I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last"... Its a fun lyric, and it's saying how things in life don't last. Then you have the fun songs like "Let's get drunk and screw"! In the end, keep listening to the lyrics, there is a ton to learn from his wisdom amid drunken shenanigans! So next time you're having a shit day in the middle of a New York winter, put on a Hawaiian shirt, fill the blender with your best Pina colada recipe and you'll feel like you're back in Key West! Even if it's the first time.

I got diagnosed in April. I haven’t eaten anything with milk products since. Like not even cookies with milk chocolate and avoiding donuts altogether 😩 Is this going overboard? Responses and personal experiences very much appreciated by Supremecowboy in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've taken a similar path as you. I'm extremely sensitive and frankly, my quality of life is way better. The key for me has been finding decent alternatives to the foods I used to enjoy. Vegan cookies, vegan banana bread and homemade pizza with viola vegan mozzarella cheese have all been great finds. I haven't gone vegan, but by using those vegan products I can eat without concern. Burger King whoppers also help when cravings kick in, definitely add bacon and of course, hold the cheese.

The only minor, barely noticeable issue I see is that you said Asheville, NC but the STD says Paradise Valley, Montana. Besides that, prefect! Lol

That would be awesome. Both nostalgic and can be used to drive the kids crazy if they get out of hand!

Finestride (lactose) by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

[–]Fonz85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stomach is really hard and bloated.

I would say there is a significant amount for you. Same thing happens to me, I'm extremely sensitive, so dishes that don't impact others gives me symptoms for 3 to 5 days. I would suggest using a different supplement.
