For Lactose Intolerance "My story sounds like all the others. I tried this product 2 separate times. The first time I was at work. Took the Lactaid with my lunch and one hour I was sick. Vomiting and diarrhea. I had to leave and go home. I did not think it was the pills. I tried it again a few months later and same thing. Vomiting and diarrhea. I had bought a box of 60 chewables that will go to trash. I would not recommend this product to anyone."

For Lactose Intolerance "I took the chewable Lactaid on three occasions. The first time, I had to miss work for the remainder of the day as I was vomiting nonstop. Next time, the same. The third and last time, I ended up in the ER, I was in pain, had a fever, diarrhea, and vomiting at the same time. My wife was the one who recalled that all three times I was sick, it was when I used Lactaid Fast Act chewable tablets. NEVER AGAIN. I did not believe it, so I tried eating the cheese I had that night without Lactaid, and I did not have any symptoms except the usual bloating I get from lactose. I prefer bloating to spending a night hooked to the intravenous fluids."

For Lactose Intolerance "Okay, so I’ve been suffering from undiagnosed stomach problems they wrote off as IBS, and well, I’m not buying it. But point is, they tested me, and it showed I was lactose intolerant. So, me being the person I am, I didn’t want to upset my stomach more, so I bought Equate lactose pills. At first, I took one or two and no problems, although I never had horrible discomfort from dairy anyway, just the occasional runs. But BOY WAS I IN FOR IT! So, I took 3 lactose pills because 'no side effects,' right? WRONG. That was my first warning because a couple hours later, I felt like I was going to vomit, and that feeling lasted two days. But I figured it was what I ate. SOO, fast forward to last night, I ate mac and cheese at 2 am, and me being scared it would hurt my stomach, I took 3 lactose pills. And THE NEXT MORNING, I WOKE UP IN PAIN, and I ended up vomiting for the first time in 4 years. So no more pills (figures because I ate nachos and fried mac and cheese prior with no pills, and I was fine)."

For Lactose Intolerance "I have taken Lactaid Fast Act twice now (one week apart). Both times, within hours, I had diarrhea and vomiting. Won't be using this product again."
