re: #215 Killgore Trout

I’s always had IBS and earlier this year started to become lactose intolerant. It took a little bit of experimenting but I cleared it up. Here’s how I did it: 1) high fiber. If you can’t get enough fiber through regular diet he can take Citrucel. It’s not too gross but I don’t take it anymore since I started having Quinoa with dinner on a regular basis.
2) another thing to try is eating more fruit. An apple or two a day makes a huge difference in lactose digestion.
3) yogurt. I have a small amount of yogurt every day. The live bacteria help to cultivate the “inner garden”.
I’ll bet if he experiments a little bit with diet he can beat it.

Thanks! I’ll pass all of that along.

He’s not a giant dairy fan, but he does like the occasional bowl of cereal, and ice cream is something he doesn’t want to give up.

Sure worth a try!
