lactagen to my lactose intolerance rescue?

[Carter Bronson]

So i've been reading up on some stuff regarding medication and treatments for my lactose intolerance but i haven't found anything yet. I mean, i already spend too much time and money on lactaid, dairy ease and etc. i'm just looking for something that's more affordable and hopefully something that has permanent effects, rather than the short, immediate relief stuff. The closest thing i've come across that i'm remotely interested in at all is this product called Lactagen. Lactagen looks like it could be the one, but you know how the internet is nowadays... it's very sketchy. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who can possibly help me out and tell me if this product really works?

here's a link to a fox news video clip i found on lactagen as well. check it out.

Hi Carter,

Why not try avoiding the lactose instead? This will be healthier for you in the long run.

why would avoiding lactose be healthier in the long run? i mean, i would totally give it a shot, but i absolutely love certain dairy products too much to just give them up completely...

If you have an allergic reaction to something it means it is something your body cannot tolerate. Taking something to mask the symptoms does not make your body tolerate it better.

well from my understanding, lactagen is suppose to help with "strengthening the micro-flora (healthy bacteria) to better handle breaking down Lactose,..." (ritternutrition.com) to me, this sounds very plausible and like a solution to my lactose intolerance. i mean, to me it makes sense, but then again, i'm not an expert or very knowledgeable in this area, therefore i'm here asking for help :)

[Dr. Stacy]

There seems to be mixed reviews about it, but give it a try and let us know how you do on it.
