      They already make lactase drops and powder you can add to your food. I personally just think it’s easier to take a couple pills before I eat pizza instead of having a bunch of chalk dust sprinkled on it.

        I need to figure out how to mix in lactase drops into a dense dessert like a blizzard, because mixing the entire contents of the cup makes it soft faster.

    I remember I was twenty-five and ate a medium pepperoni pizza at like 10 pm at night. I woke up around 1 am with the worst feeling in my chest. It was a horrible burning that would not go away and kept me up all night.

    Yes, I discovered I had heart burn. Never had it up until this point and I have had it ever since. FUN!

      i find that I have significantly less problems with heartburn when I remember to eat enough fiber. eating more veggies, pulses, wholegrain bread and fruit helps me a lot

        Yeah but I’d rather shit a brick once or twice a day than have runny poop 5 times a day

          do you have an intolerance or something? as long as you build up your intake of fibre relatively slowly eating more of it (both soluble and insoluble) should help you be more regular, unless you have some condition of course

            No, my body is very used to eating lots of fiber, that’s not the issue. I just eat a ton of calories because I’m very physically active, so even when I pay attention to eating foods with little fiber I still get around 50 grams per day, at least when bulking.

    This is where famotidine shines. One itsy-bitsy pill right before or right after I eat something that tends to give me heartburn and I’m all good for the night.

    My biggest issue is I have a heat-tooth, but my internal anatomy feels otherwise. And there’s no common over the counter pill that I’m aware of that’s useful for appeasing a small intestine that wants me dead.

      Yeah, ranitidine and famotidine were both very good to me back when I got heartburn often, and I’ll still hit them up once in a while. There’s even ones that have mint coating, so any indigestion later at least has an air of freshness.

    Like a half teaspoon of fresh baking soda in warm water works on contact.
