Today, I told my mom that I think I'm lactose intolerant, and that I should go to the doctor to get checked out. She said that I was probably just gassy, and then ordered us a pizza for dinner. FML

Lactose intolerance is not an allergy.

I also said that to my parents and they didn't believe me. You know your body better than they do so insist on getting tested. My body ends up getting full after eating a lot of dairy trying to protect itself so I don't get super sick. It's different for everyone. I found out that I was highly lactose intolerant and found out I can't digest lactose at all. It's been 2 years and I'm still struggling to eat dairy free. You really need a support system to do so. There's also lactaid pills that you can consume when you take dairy to help digest dairy products at like Walmart or Target. They're expensive, but they help you with stomachaches and indigestion when you crave ice cream or chocolate. Pinterest dairy free recipes and there are lots of dairy free alternatives at Whole Food stores. Good luck!

Cheesus Crust, just get yourself tested to be sure.

She ordered a lactose tolerance test covered in delicious toppings and a side of breadsticks, OP.

When the aftermath hits, use her bathroom.

Do a test. Peel the cheese off your slices and give it to your mom. If you don't get gas or diarrhea, you may be lactose-intolerant. And your mom gets extra cheese for free. Win-win!

you really have no clue about cross contamination do you?!

I do, I just don't believe in it. It's just a hoax created by the Chinese because Asian cultures think cheese is disgusting

don't believe in it? take it from someone who has an allergy.. any food crossed or mixed in can make me incredibly ill.. same can happen any allergy. Clearly very uneducated in the matter

Clearly you don't recognize political satire when it bites you in the ass. America is never going to be great again with rampant ignorance like this.

I understand that his second comment was a joke, but the first, really insensitive.

Lactose intolerance is not an allergy.

Just buy lactaid, that should tell you if you are. Just make sure to have a large bowl of ice cream!

Now you have celiac and lactose intolerance ;)

"I got a warm meal for dinner tonight. FML."

Um lol, that's not the point. What good is this "warm meal" if it makes the person ill.

Maybe try some Lactaid. :) You can get it at any drugstore.
