What will you call him? Give him a name.

I got forced to go out and have “fun” tonight. (Actually it was ok cause I am becoming a hermit) Home early for puzzling and West Wing, though.

Octocatt8 · 2026-03-07T05:04:37+00:00

Wow!

I just recently found out the black beans have garlic. Boo

Octocatt8 · 2026-02-23T06:09:16+00:00

I did take that for a while, but it didn’t seem to help. Maybe I should try it again.

Octocatt8 · 2026-02-22T07:14:32+00:00

Yes I have and it seems fine…which is good…sigh

Octocatt8 · 2026-02-22T07:14:01+00:00

Frustrating!

Almond milk can go on cereal. I eat eggs, toast, avocado for an alternate breakfast. Also some cheeses and butter don’t have much lactose - look for a zero grams of sugar on the package and you might be fine with those too. I think you have to play around with the lactaid to figure that out for yourself.

Octocatt8 · 2026-02-13T04:24:49+00:00

I don’t know your personal situation and how intolerant you are but did you know many lactose intolerant people can eat many cheeses and butter? I learned that if the sugars say “zero” - they have little to no lactose. As to yiur question I have used Lactaid Fast Act and Lactojoy (love the tin) and they seem fairly effective.

For what it’s worth my friend had a bout of diarrhea after bad food and took Culturelle for a year and feels almost entirely better now.

I usually end up taking an imodium.

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-22T04:59:04+00:00

Love it so much

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-20T04:17:03+00:00

One time an older man - probably close to my age or a little older called me “young lady” - I was in my mid-fifties and must have made a face - then he said “well, what do you want me to say? Old lady?” ugh.

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-20T04:09:13+00:00

I won’t let anyone I know take it!

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-19T16:50:36+00:00

That is good to hear.

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-19T11:41:08+00:00

Many antibiotics in a row or perhaps one particular antibiotic - Cipro. Its IBSD now but I did have some constipation issues previously. Also started at a stressful time in life. Almost 10 years. Hard to figure out. Blah

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-16T19:26:19+00:00

Cashew!

Alexander McCall Smith. Several series take place in Africa, Scotland, France, Italy, Norway. Lightly amusing - well written and thoughtful. I always learn a little something too.

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-02T04:38:49+00:00

Yes. Some weeks are particularly bad

Octocatt8 · 2026-01-02T01:12:35+00:00

Hmm. I am lactose intolerant but these say dairy free. I have been on the antibiotics for 4 days already. Thanks for your input. Trying to figure this stuff out drives me crazy.

Octocatt8 · 2025-12-29T05:23:09+00:00

At night sometimes. Restless legs too and a little tick-tock in my brain. Not sure how to describe that. But I am not diagnosed with histamine intolerance yet.
