For Lactose Intolerance "My story sounds like all the others. I tried this product 2 separate times. 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 have taken this pill 3 separate times. Every time I have taken this I have severe cramps and diarrhea. HORRIBLE DIARRHEA!!!! The first two times I took this I thought it was something I ate that was bad. Now the third time dealing with this I know that it’s the pills. When my stomach wakes me up in the Middle of the night so I can spend an hour in the bathroom is not fun. It usually lasts for 24 hours but it’s embarrassing to tell my boss I can’t come in Because I’m on the toilet. Never again will I take these and I would never recommend them."

For Lactose Intolerance "I took one Lactaid Fast Act pill, one time. Never again. I was extremely nauseous for the whole rest of the day. It was awful. I almost left work early because I didn’t trust myself not to get sick at any moment. I am not going through that again!"

For Lactose Intolerance "I took the chewable lactaids on 3 occasions. The first time, I had to miss work for the remainder of the day as I was vomiting non-stop. Next time the same. The 3rd and last time, I ended up in the ER, I was in pain, fever, diarrhea and vomiting at the same time. My wife was the one who recalled that all 3 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 than spending a night hooked to the intraveinous fluids thing."

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 and 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 cause “no side effects” right? WRONG that was my first warning cause 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 n cheese at 2am 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 cause I ate nachos and fried Mac n cheese prior with no pills and I was fine)"

For Lactose Intolerance "Suspected I was lactose intolerant so I cut out dairy: Got nostalgic of 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 it’s 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 where 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 "This is the first time I’ve bought this brand and the rest of the stories sound very familiar. I took 1 pill and ate 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and I was in the toilet with cramps all day . Then tried 3 pills. Same. With 2 slices of pizza and nope it did not help . I felt cramps and so much bloating and constipation then diarrhea. What a bad experience!! I thought this would help me but no. Do not recommend this brand . I bought it at cvs ."

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 "I have suffered (severe dyspepsia) from eating dairy since my early years in life. At a friend's recommendation, I tried Lactaid tablets. All I can say is this little pill has changed my life. For the first time in decades, I can enjoy cheese and ice cream. This little pill has given me the ability to enjoy foods that I never thought I would eat again in my lifetime. Thank you!"

For Lactose Intolerance "I have been on the milk ever since it came out. It was a blessing for me because I am a milk drinker. I took the pills before the chewable but when the they came out I was thrilled at how fast they worked and they are good tasting so what could be better?? Not a thing. Thank you and to who ever came up with the chewables. I would like the coupons. "
