Sharing the symptoms with you would probably be TMI, but suffice it to say, they&#8217;re not fun. I can still eat small amounts of dairy without any problems, but a few days eating, say, pasta in a creamy sauce will really mess up my stomach.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m now buying lactose free stuff, somewhat reluctantly. It doesn&#8217;t quite taste like the normal stuff. Lactose free butter and cream cheese both taste kind of blander and sharper. I guess my taste buds miss the sugar. I guess I&#8217;ll get used to it.<\/p>\n<p>What bothers me more is that there are so few organic lactose free products. I want my milk and butter to come from happy cows who are not pumped full of antibiotics and who get to spend their days outdoors. But I also still want my butter to be butter, not an artificial alternative.<\/p>\n<p>I was happy to see that at least when it comes to heavy cream, there is an organic lactose free alternative. Too bad it&#8217;s one of those semi-fake ones, with a thickening agent compensating for the lower fat content (36% instead of 40%). Organic, thickener free, lactose free: choose any two out of three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve reached middle age and become lactose intolerant.
