    I feel like there’s a gulf between lactose intolerant people who are like “haha it gives me diarrhea but I eat it anyway XXD” and people like me who are on the “will uncontrollably shit myself in public for days” end of the spectrum

      Oh yeah for sure it’s a wide spectrum, it can go from a mild “cheese makes me fart a little hihi” to an extreme “oh dear God please, it feels like my body is trying to expel my intestines, just fucking kill me already”

      There are those of us who are both. I can go weeks with eating pizza and ice cream and other shit and be fine and then there are instances like when I was a teenager and I ate four bowls of cocoa puffs and had to go have my stomach pumped to avoid cardiac arrest.

        I never have those weeks when I can eat pizza and ice cream

        I have to avoid lactose categorically, and it gets exhausting when I’m forced to explain this to people who are pressuring me to “just try it”
