Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense, 32 Capsules

I really liked this product just wish It wasn't so pricey

I have been suffering from lactose intolerance since the tender age of 16. I would classify my malady as towards the severe end of the spectrum. Those of us with lactose tolerance knows what THAT means! Milk, soft cheeses, and especially CREAM are the common enemies. Try to enjoy a delicious dish of any pasta with Alfredo sauce and you'll see exactly when Mount St. Helens will erupt again! I have probably gone through 1000 boxes of Lactaid pills over the years in all their distinct forms (fast acting, ultra, etc.) with varying results. You see - Lactase enzyme pills mixed with your first bite of food works a lot, but not ALL of the time. I would speculate it has to do with rates of absorption, but most of us who have taken lactase enzyme - regardless of the brand - often enough have run into the occasions where it doesn't work as well as we'd like. The prospect of taking a product once per day instead of every meal was enough of a motivator for me. I was very, very apprehensive about the validity of the claims. I followed the directions and took 2 pills per day for several days before trying any dairy product naked (aka: no lactaid!). My first test was a very thick Greek yogurt. The same yogurt would have normally been enough to keep any living thing away from me for several hours in the absence of Lactaid. I had absolutely NO ill effect...amazing! Over the next few weeks I experimented with a variety of food in a myriad of quantities. I must say this has completely worked for me! It is great not having to keep a pocketful of pills just in case you stop at a restaurant or for ice cream (another common lactose intolerant nightmare food). I just hope the effectiveness does not wane with time. Due to my severe lactose intolerance I still continue taking 2 per day (instead of 1) and stagger them. One in the am and one in the pm - just to keep a consistent flow in my system. I may eventually have the intestinal (no pun intended) fortitude to wean down to 1 per day, but I'm just not ready for that challenge yet :)

I absolutely can not have milk without cramping horribly. Since I started taking these, I have occasionally added dairy to my coffee and have not had a problem. I'll call it a success.-1 Star for packaging. The blister packs are hard for me to open and I often split the capsule, which I assume also compromises the product when it meets the stomach.

I've been lactose intolerant for a dozen years and started using Digestive Advantage two months ago. Following the instructions, I took two pills the first two days and one pill daily thereafter. The first week it cleaned me out such that I was "dropping the kids off at the pool" a few times a day. In a week my movements returned to normal and the testing began.Test one, 1 week in: Chocolate ice cream - that delicious treat the used to leave me releasing military grade stink bombs. Result: Complete success. No bloating, no diarrhea, no stink bombs.Test two, 1 month in: Annie's white cheddar mac and cheese prepared with real milk. The dish that made me realize I was lactose intolerant. Result: Fair success. A little bloating, but no diarrhea or effluvium.Test three, 2 months in: Indian buffet - a WMD for the lactose intolerant. Chicken in cream sauce, spinach paneer, rice pudding. Result: Complete success. I enjoyed a peaceful night air all evening long.Test four, 2.1 months in: Creme Brulee. Result: Failure. GanedenBC30 meets its match ... and I suffer through a night of a malodorous funk that would make a dung beetle ask for a courtesy flush.The small green pill you need to take each day contains lactase enzyme and GanedenBC30. The lactase is probably in there just for show since anyone who has taken lactase knows you need to take it with the offending food. You take the Digestive Advantage pill just once a day at an unspecified time. The action is from the GanedenBC30, which is the brand name for Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, a bacteria that breaks down lactose and complex sugars. With these little bacteria living in my intestines, I can eat a lot more dairy than I could before, but I still have my limits.

If your lactose intolerant then these will change your life, they changed mine. I was taking the pills you have to take right when your about to eat dairy and that is a major pain in the you know what! Always forgetting or didn’t have one on me. I don’t always know when I will eat dairy nor do I want to think about it that much. I take one pill in the morning once a day and I have no problems at all after eating dairy. I love my cheese, milk, pizza, and especially ice cream 😋and I was having some sever stomach and intestinal pain, one time thought I was having an appendicitis attack before I realized it was a dairy intolerance issue. I saw some people say they take more then one pill a day so it is a trial and error until you see what dosage will help you. I started right with one pill a day and got lucky that that was all I needed!!
