Have you tried finding a pill that looks like a lactase tablet and having a friend choose randomly between the two before you consume dairy? I'd say it's more

I'd say it's more likely that you aren't experiencing a placebo effect, but it never hurts to be sure.
- ghshephard 16y agoHeh. It's actually pretty easy to identify the people who aren't lactose intolerant by their comments. Trust me, there are three wonder drugs on this planet in my experience - these aren't like "Aspirin" or "Tylenol" in which placebo effect might be possible, these are drugs where there are almost instant and _very_ physical changes: o Tums - when I have a really acid stomach. Typically within 90-120 seconds my stomach clears up. o Amodium - If you ever have the runs (though, you then have this freaky experience of not having a bowel movement for 48-72 hours). Use with extreme caution. I've taken a total of three in my life. o Lactase - Which basically eliminates an entire suite of issues associated with the inability to digest lactose. In fact, the first few times I used them with a milkshake, the impact was so great, I was a little nervous until I did some reading and discovered the underlying mechanisms (basically breaking Lactose down to Galactose + Glucose) - Changed my life.
