Hey! Lactose intolerance is spawned by having killed all the lactose-eating beasties in your stomach, usually through neglect.

It is, therefore, possible to Get Over It by repopulating the beasties. How, you ask?

Well, if you like yogurt, get active culture yogurt and have some for breakfast daily, or at least a couple times a week. This will do it all by itself in a couple weeks, although obviously you have to feed the little monsters occasionally or you're back where you started.

If you don't, it's possible to get the bacterial spores from better drugstores. They'll be next to the Lactaid, and you have one with meals every day. These, too, will repopulate the beasties, and again you have to feed them like any other pet.

Hope that helps.
