For Lactose Intolerance "Absolutely horrible! This is the only thing I’ve done different: try these tablets, and I’m so sick! Awful stomach pains, nauseated, hard bloated stomach, just downright awful feeling! Even by the next day, I’m still hurting! These need to be taken off the market immediately!"

For Lactose Intolerance "Suspected I was lactose intolerant, so I cut out dairy. Got nostalgic for ice cream and other dairy treats real quick. Gave Lactaid a try at the recommendation of friends and doctor. Several times felt like I was dying. I was up sweating all night with severe stomach pain, felt like my intestines were being wrung into a knot, and prayed for diarrhea, which eventually did come and didn't stop for an hour. This happened to me several times on separate occasions until it dawned on me it could be the Lactaid pills. I never took these horrible things again, and I’ve never had the issue reoccur. I’d rather yolo a bowl of ice cream and let the lactose intolerance run its course than suffer the immense pain these lactose pills caused me."

For Lactose Intolerance "I have been using Lactaid milk for a while for my morning cup of coffee and still had issues with bloating and gas, so I recently decided to use the Lactaid Fast Act. I noticed that there were days when my stomach would hurt an hour or two after the pill, but nothing too insanely bad. But today, I only drank my coffee and one of the pills, and three hours later at work, I was in a cold sweat and puking my life away. I hate leaving early, so it was super embarrassing, and when I got home, I felt the same stomach pain I usually get from the Lactaid pill, and additionally, I started having really bad diarrhea. This pill was supposed to make me more comfortable, but I almost puked all over my coworkers and pooped to within an inch of my life at home. I'm hesitant to ever take these again."

For Lactose Intolerance "I took 2-3 Lactaid tablets yesterday and have severe stomach pains. This happened 2 months ago, and I had to undergo two weeks of antibiotics to treat an H. pylori infection. Going for another H. pylori breath test today. Lactaid may disrupt stomach flora."

For Lactose Intolerance "I've been lactose intolerant since I was a young child, but I never took anything for it. I avoided regular milk and have only used Lactaid milk or soy. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try Lactaid Fast Acting pills because I was tired of the gas and upset stomach. This medicine has caused me severe stomach pains and diarrhea. I am currently curled up in a ball in pain. I would rather have terrible gas than take this pill again."

For Lactose Intolerance "After taking 1 dose of lactase enzyme supplement 9000 units along with some ice cream, I felt sick to my stomach. I had stomach pains, nausea, just an overall feeling of sickness which lasted for most of the day."
