Aside from being a little sleepy, I felt fine today. The lactose problem that harassed me on Saturday seems to be gone. Again, I'm going to have to attribute my stomach issue to what I ate and not to the Lactagen.
That brings me to another point. I should be keeping a daily food diary as well to help make this a little more ... scientific. Or perhaps it will just be another thing to fill the space. When I list out foods, I'll let you know if they contain lactose. I don't anticipate having any, but there was that Kung Pao chicken last Saturday.
I got a little crazy tonight and tried mixing the dosage with juice instead of water. I know, stand back! It almost too exciting to handle. Well, full blown sarcasm aside...
It worked great.
I've reached the point where I'm adding enough of the Lactagen mix to my drink, that's it's noticeable with water. Again, it's not disgusting, but it's not delicious either. Mixing it with juice this time completely hid the flavor. I suppose it depends on what kind of juice you choose. I went with V8 Fusion Blueberry Pomegranate.
As far as food today, I ate:
8 oz strawberry yogurt with Post Trail Mix crunch cereal. The yogurt, of course, has lactobacillus and acidopholus
Lean Cuisine Cafe Steamers Sweet Sesame Chicken
Green grapes
Clif bar
Great Value breaded barbecue chicken
6 oz v8 fusion blueberry pomegranate juice
Organic Hummus with All Bran crackers
Bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios with Dairy Ease milk
If you're new to reading this blog, and this is the first page you're reading, this is the Lactagen program. It's designed to train you large intestines to produce micro flora that will break down lactose, since your smaller intestines are no longer producing the lactase enzyme effectively. The great question is, will it cure my lactose intolerance?
