I lost more than my appendix that day

life is pain, it's fucking miserable, I can't even enjoy a sandwich without checking the label like a fuck geriatric
Any other recently-lactose-intolerant bros know this feel?

What kind of cheese? Have u tried sth like a true parmagiano, which is both raw and aged very long?
And what happens when u consume dairy now?

Are you sure it's lactose intolerance if lactose-free cheese is a problem? Antibiotics are known to mess up your gut bacteria. Homemade yogurt has more active beneficial bacteria which could be why you tolerate it?

Somewhat recent for #metoo, seems I can handle small amounts fine, and lactase helps

I get really bad eczema that lasts a few weeks, stomach cramps, dandruff (big ass flakes)
it's horrible, clear healthy skin otherwise

idk if it's lactose but it seems to be most dairy. I've tried Kefir but it's more inconclusive, needs more testing.
Definitely seems like "live" foods are easier on me than the dead stuff

>lactose intolerant

Keffir, yogurt (no corn syrup bullshit). And Lactaid. Most the storebought milk's sugarwater trash.

The Appendix is a beneficial bacteria reservoir/last redoubt to recolonize the gut after gastric distress, illness, whatever. Start having fermented foods more regularly and the greens to keep them happy. The milk replacements are all garbage and expensive, don't bother.

Raw greens in particular. It's less than fermented foods but raw fruits and vegetables have been shown to still contain a decent amount of beneficial bacteria.

Was this anime good?

>>21977922
have you considered not losing your appendicks next time???
>>
>>21977922
Just keep eating it until you get used to it

Appendix may be a hidey-hole for your gut bacteria. Removing it + antibiotics probably destroyed your gut biome.

Dairy, different-veggies fiber, different-beans fiber, and others are food sources for gut microbes. So if you haven't eaten one in a while or killed all the microbes in your gut, introduce the foods slowly. Eat yogurt slowly to introduce the lactobacillus, then gradually ramp up

yes, if you like slice of life. it's fairly static since every episode is just two friends sitting in a food court booth talking about mundane things. it's got a great OP.
