    I’m indigenous so I’m lactose intolerant … but you build a tolerance to it all little by little over time. About ten years ago I got it that I could drink a huge milkshake (triple chocolate for those wondering … chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce with a good shot of vanilla … it was like dessert crack). I drank regularly all summer and by the fall, I had gained ten pounds and didn’t notice the discomfort anymore.

    Stopped for the winter and went to do it again the next spring and I felt like my insides wanted to become my outsides. I had to slowly build my tolerance again little by little.

      This is maybe pedantic, but you don’t really build tolerance. You just build a flora that handles the lactose for you, i.e. bacteria.

        Also good for when you are not, in fact, lactose-intolerant, but prefer to shit like a sheep. You might get light-headed, though, as a side effect.
        … or so I was told.

      I miss milkshakes. Used to be able to inhale them when I was younger. These days… yeah I can’t handle the aftermath.
