=================================
I see no reason why Lactagen would not work. I am skeptical about a
claim that the cure is permanent, since
I have to repopulate my system with probiotics after antibiotics,
reactive metals and / or some food preservatives.
I have heard that some people with lactose intolerance are capable of
eating kefir and working up to yogurt.
There are also some people that learn they have been killing off the
probiotic microbes in their gut and learn how to
make their bodies a beneficial home for those probiotics that are so
beneficial for them. When they do this they find
that they may not have those same food reactions / allergies.

Get to know your body and how to recover from food reactions that cause
digestive upset,
especially those that progress to diarrhea, the following link may be
helpful.

Once you know how to recover, try new food but as part of a
"elimination, or challenge, diet".

After you know how to recover (fast) from food reactions, have tried
kefir, and learned
about "elimination, or challenge, diets" and if you still have the
lactose intolerance
go ahead and try Lactagen, and if you still have a reaction, you will be
able to know if it was the
milk or another food that you accidentally added back to your diet at
that time.

Did I answer your question? If I created more questions, please tell me.
