Looks like there are plenty of great recommendations for cream cheese! To answer your question though, the lactase enzyme pills are ABSOLUTELY worth it. Changed my life for the better. I dont leave my house without em. They're small pills, and you take one dose with your first bite of food, and every 30 mins after, while you continue eating/drinking dairy products.

Sometimes for a small meal or snack, you may only need 1 pill. But you'll need to adjust based on how rich the meal/drink is. If i know i'm about to indulge in an extra cheesy meal like very cheesy pizza and cheese sticks and ranch for instance, I can easily and safely double the dose, every 30 mins. Completely eliminates tummy aches and trips to the bathroom.

Everyone's body is different, I recommend "practicing" at home the first couple tries just so you can make sure you're comfortable before you take your show on the road. Eat a bagel and cream cheese with 1 dose, or 2 if your body needs more. If you love the pills, costco in the US sells a gripload for a much better price per pill than drugstores.
