It is not that bad - I miss ice cream the most but now when I do eat ice cream it is with full knowledge and acceptance of what it will do to me.

Lactaid, I'll reiterate, is not bad. I like it better than soy milk. Man - soy milk makes me sicker than real milk - just the *thought* of it makes my stomach all clenchy.

Luckily - I can have cheese for the most part. Sometimes it is possible to overdo the cheese, but I'd like to think that is just a function of overdoing it and really has very little to do with lactose.

Oh! And yogurt! I can totally have yogurt.
