A Lactose Free Diet May No Longer Be Necessary.
I-Can-Drink-Milk-Again - Brochure Six
Hi ,
Welcome to the sixth of my email brochures about ::
" A Lactose Intolerance Solution " ::
Getting
rid of Lactose Intolerance with Lactagen: Information, Tips,
Recipes and Reasons.
I've been receiving many emails from people thanking me for introducing them to the Lactose Intolerance Program that has enabled them to say goodbye, Permanently, to their Lactose Free Diet. It's such a great feeling to endorse a product that can make such a huge difference in the quality of peoples lives. If you suffer from lactose intolerance, just imagine saying goodbye permanently, to Your Lactose Free Diet. It can be done! I have done it. You can do it too. I know that this has made a wonderful difference to so many people. Perhaps I'll hear from you one day :-)
It's amazing just how many people require to be on a Lactose Free Diet. It's widely estimated that between 30 and 50 million North American adults suffer with some degree of lactose intolerance, and many suffer so severely that they absolutely must follow a lactose free diet at all times or endure agony. Caucasians seem to be the least affected (relatively speaking), with Asians affected the most, and Blacks and Hispanics falling somewhere in between in terms of percentages affected. This means that a huge number of people suffer, often quietly and in resignation while trying to maintain a Lactose Free Diet, which is not easy to maintain.
A Lactose Intolerant Diet requires constant vigilance.
So many food manufacturers use dairy ingredients in their products, that anyone pursuing a Lactose Intolerant Diet needs to be constantly paying attention and vigilant in reading every food label.
Don't forget that food products such as bread and other baked goods, processed breakfast cereals, instant potatoes, soups, margarine, lunch meats, (other than kosher) salad dressings, candies and many other snacks very often contain lactose. And, even prescription and over-the-counter drugs (including birth control pills and various supplements) sometimes contain lactose. Be sure to factor this into your lactose intolerant diet plan.
Not paying full attention to what you put into your mouth can wreak havoc on your lactose intolerant diet and cause near instant misery for those caught unaware.
A Lactose Free Diet is a real pain to stick to. If you're really sensitive (as I was), it's easy to accidentally ingest something containing lactose and get sick as a result. A Lactose Intolerant Diet sometimes requires aggressive questioning of waiters and even the host or hostess at a friendly diner party to try to avoid getting sick when outside of the home. Not fun, I assure you.
Lots of folks think it's just annoying when you pointedly ask about milk ingredients in food, but then they probably don't suffer with lactose intolerance . . . yet. And, as annoying as some may find it, it's absolutely essential for you to get into the habit of knowing exactly what you are putting into your mouth if you are to maintain your lactose free diet.
The lactose intolerance condition tends to manifest itself as one gets older, and/or as the body produces less and less of the lactase enzyme needed to digest milk products. Many folks have a mild lactose intolerance condition and don't yet know they have it. If the condition is not very severe, it may be possible to pass the slight symptoms off as nothing to be concerned about. But unfortunately, lactose intolerance is unlikely to improve as we get older, it just tends to get worse. It's my belief that our modern food industry is partially responsible, and only by re-conditioning the digestive system is it possible to overcome this condition. Unfortunately, some folks, like those born with it may not be able to overcome the condition, but it's my belief that the majority of lactose intolerance sufferers could do away with their lactose free diets as I have done.
Check out the suggestions on the following web page if you need to be completely lactose free.
Some helpful Lactose Intolerance Diet resources:
A Kosher Symbol can be quite helpful with a Lactose Intolerance Diet. If the Kosher Symbol includes the word "Pareve" or "Parve": the food contains no dairy-based or meat-based ingredients. Fortunately, even major food companies like Kraft® Foods are more and more, catering to people with special food concerns like a lactose intolerance diet. Go to this Kraft® Foods Canada page and scroll down about two thirds of the page. There you will find a marvelous downloadable (.pdf) resource for those people on a lactose intolerance diet. The download contains a comprehensive list of Kraft® Foods that are: Gluten-free, Lactose-free, and/or Kosher.

A lactose intolerance diet can be somewhat flexible
depending on the severity of the condition. But, if you
find that you are increasingly sensitive to lactose, your
only option may be to strictly follow a Lactose Free Diet,
avoiding all foods that contain casein, cream, margarine,
milk solids, whey and any food product with milk ingredients
unless explicitly stated that it's 100% LACTOSE FREE.
If you are somewhat sensitive to lactose, then you should take special note of the above list. Obviously, you should avoid any cheese that brings on symptoms. |
Beware of food products listing whey, curds, dry milk solids,
milk by-products, and nonfat dry milk powder in their list of
ingredients. If any of these ingredients are listed in a products
ingredients, the product may contain lactose.
On a recent visit to my local supermarket, I did a comparison of lactose free diet foods versus regular foods. This is the difference in cost that I found:
| For a Lactose Free Diet: | For a Regular Diet: | Difference: |
| 1 Litre Skim Milk - $2.39 | 1 Litre Lactose Free Skim Milk - $2.79 | $0.40c or 16.7% MORE |
| 2 Litre Skim Milk - $3.99 | 2 Litre Lactose Free Skim Milk - $4.79 | $0.80c or 20% MORE |
| 2 Litre Ice Cream - $4.79 | 1 Litre Lactose Free Ice Cream - $4.99 | $5.19c or 103% MORE |
It doesn't matter whether it's milk, margarine, cheese or anything else. Across the board, Lactose Intolerance Sufferers pay significantly more for their Lactose Free Diet. Day in Day Out, Week in Week Out, Month in Month Out, A lactose Free Diet is costing YOU some SERIOUS extra money over time!
, there's some good news and some bad news. The Bad news first, - it may be, that the only solution for you is to do all that you can to maintain a lactose free diet. There are many resources on this web site and others to help you do just that. You may be genetically predisposed, or there may be some other factor or illness that prevents you from enjoying dairy products again. If this is the case , you truly have my sympathy. There was a time when I believed that I was incurable, I know what it's like and I wish there was some advice I could give.
But , if the above does NOT apply to you, then there is some very good news indeed! You may be able to say goodbye to your Lactose Intolerance Diet forever! A simple 38 Day Program could be all that stands between your Lactose Free Diet and the freedom to eat what you want when you want. Imagine That.

I know you're skeptical, so was I, But, what can I say, I went from being super sensitive to lactose (lactose pills with just about every meal), to being able to enjoy a glass of chocolate milk anytime I want. That's the Truth. That's the Incredible Truth. No lactose free diet for me anymore.
Please tell anyone you know that has lactose intolerance to visit i-can-drink-milk-again.com if you feel they might benefit from my story. I love to have new friends, and please do yourself a favor, seriously consider the program for yourself if you qualify.
Until then, you can get by with a wide variety of lactose-reduced and/or lactose-free dairy products, including milk, cheese, margarine and some wonderful dairy product substitutes, although they will cost quite a bit more than the regular item, especially over time. (More about this later) Lactase enzyme replacement pills or capsules are also an essential component in a lactose intolerant diet.
