I know that there are bigger tragedies in the world right now, but I've always drunk around a litre of milk per day, eaten butter-slathered porridge every morning, and gorged myself on cheese at night—and I have just discovered I might now be lactose intolerant - ThreadSky

The good news is that I had dairy-free porridge this morning with olive oil, eggs and an avocado and it was delicious

My unevidenced theory is that everyone is born with a lifetime budget of dairy and I just flagrantly squandered mine too young

can you just continue when you want it with those little lactase pills?

Butter is pretty low lactose, you should be fine with that!

I’m lactose intolerant since the 80’s. Depends how bad it is, you can maybe find pills (lactase) to help, or just learn to like something else. In Finland there’s a lot of products that are lactose free.

I found something else to eat. Nowadays I’m vegan. No problems with lactose ;)

I hope it's not a severe intolerance. Like hopefully it's just gas and not shitting out your whole ass or worse :-/

I learned I was lactose intolerant at age 40. Then I learned about the dangers of dairy and cancer. Now I happily enjoy my oat and hemp milks.

Well Your World has a healthy plant based cheese sauce if you’re interested.

Butter in porridge... I need to try this

Rub it in, why don't you

I developed a wheat intolerance. I loved so many things made out of wheat. I grew up in places famous for pastries, bread, breadrolls, croissants, crepes, …
It is devastating

oniano.bsky.social•5 days ago

Is that how you make it?

maosbot.bsky.social•5 days ago

I (used to) fry the oats in butter before cooking, but, yes rubbing it in would probably work well too :)

Your cheese will be fine though (with the exception of mold cheeses). For the milk, yeah, either get used to a sweeter version, or combine it with some morality and switch to alternatives.

(And to be clear, by "morality" I mean "the subjective sense of morality" haha. It just feels even more weird drinking milk if you know that it was taken from a cow, then like turned into powder, turned back into fluid, processed with enzymes... But we drink it in my fam, as substitutes are weird)

khakhalin.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's my pet peeve, but given how cool milk (and cheese) are, and how many ppl are lactose-intolerant, it boggles my mind that we still don't have a GMO version of it. Just gimme some oats with casein, or soya, whatever! But like, it's such a low-hanging fruit!

(but no. Conspiracy + lobby. Ugh.)
