I'm feeling just fine today... well, ok. To be perfectly truthful, I'm feeling a little bit bloated and gassy. Yes, I'm sure you're glad you came here to read that. The question is, what's causing the gas. I'm doing very well avoiding lactose in everything I eat, so the only lactose I'm ingesting is the lactose that's part of the Lactagen mix. Now, the Lactobacillus acidophilus in the mix should be countering that just fine, and by now I would think my stomach is producing some of its own Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Today's dosages are:
Breakfast - 13.75 cc of Lactagen mixed with apple juice
Dinner - 20 cc of Lactagen mixed with grape juice
As far as food I've eaten today:
Total with cranberries and Lactaid milk
Cliff bar
Progresso beef and barley soup
German apple pancakes (these are sooo good)
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?

Day 18 of the Lactose Intolerance Cure
Felt fine today.
Today's a special day... sort of. I'm about half way through the program. The dosage for today is 20 cc of the Lactagen mix. That's the maxium dosage you take with a meal. After today, I'll take 20 cc of the mix with every dinner, and I'll start building up the dosage with breakfast. When I reach 20 cc of the mix with breakfast, the next step will be actual, lactose-laiden milk for 3 days. I'm still skeptical, but I believe it will work too. Why both? Well, you have to have hope, right? I just don't know that I can eliminate all of the doubt until I get there.
As far as food today, I ate:
8 oz strawberry yogurt with Post Trail Mix crunch cereal. The yogurt, of course, has Lactobacillus acidophilus
Clif bar
Lean Cuisine Cafe Steamers Sweet and Sour Chicken with Orange Zest. (sounds fancy, I know)
Clif bar
Soft Tacos with Chicken, black beans, corn, spinach and salsa
Popcorn

Day 15 of the Lactose Intolerance Cure
No surprises here. I felt just fine today.
The dosage today is 16.25 cc of the mix. I liked it with juice yesterday, so... I used juice again today. I actually measured out the juice exactly to 6 ounces, and I realized... 6 ounces is less than I thought. Up to this point, I've probably been using closer to 8 to 10 ounces of water each day. From this point forward, I'll make sure I keep it at 6 ounces, since the directions say, "Mix with 4 to 6 ounces of water or juice". I'm not sure it really matters that much, but I'll stick to the directions precisely as possible to reduce variances.
As far as food today, I ate:
8 oz strawberry yogurt with Post Trail Mix crunch cereal. The yogurt, of course, has Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lean Cuisine Cafe Steamers Cajun Chicken and Shrimp
1 Peach
Clif bar
Great Value breaded chicken chunks
Green grapes
6 oz v8 fusion blueberry pomegranate juice
Hummus on flatbread
