My Path to End Lactose Intolerance... and to bring peace to the world

So, I'm starting a lactose intolerance cure. After 20 years of having this problem, a cure sounds about as feasible as world peace..., but equally desirable. A few weeks ago, I thought Lactagen was just a lame informercial. But, here I am, getting ready to start the Lactagen program.

I will start the program tonight and track my progress through the program for whoever this may help. It's probably just for my own satisfaction, but if it helps someone else... great. No, fantastic! I mean, if I've been hoping for a cure to lactose intolerance for so long, I'm sure other people have been desperate for help too. Again, no guarantees. We'll just have to see, so stick with me and find out what happens.

First of all, what is Lactagen? (This information comes right from their documentation)
"Lactagen is a one-time, 38 day program that helps the body recondition itself to digest dairy products without the painful and embarrassing symptoms of gas, diarrhea and cramps.

How Lactagen Works

1st - The Lactagen program works to calm you digestive system enabling the reconditioning process to take place.

2nd - Lactagen gradually reconditions the body by specifically training the micro-flora to better handle breaking down lactose.

3rd - The Lactagen Program re-introduces dairy into the diet comfortably & painlessly, so that the micro-flora has the ability to consistently break down the dairy products on its own."

Micro-flora? You got that? The site explains it as the naturally occurring bacteria in your stomach that breaks down food. This is same time of bacteria that breaks down the lactose in yogurt. What's interesting is that this program does not train your body to produce more lactase. Apparently, that's not possible. Fine with me. As long as it works, I'm good with that.

They claim that once you complete the program, you won't ever need to take dietary supplements, like lactase enzyme pills, anymore. Well, that's exactly what I'm hoping for.

Ok, great. So, what IS the program? Well, I recived the package, and it's a bottle and some instructions. Inside the bottle are 2 different size scoops and some fine white powder. The powder is a blend of Lactose, Calcium Phosphate Tribasic, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), Microcrystalline Cellulose and Silica. Basically, you consume the mix over the period of the program.

Here's the Lactagen bottle. Along with the instructions, this is the whole program.

2 Scoops of flavor... It comes with a 1.25 cc scoop and a 5 cc scoop.

The program is broken down into 3 stages.

Days 1 to 18 - Designed to calm your stomach.

Days 19 to 34 - Trains your large intestines to make the micro-flora more helpful in breaking down lactose

Days 35 to 38 - Reintroduce dairy into your diet.


Let's get started!
