The lactose pills work sometimes but more often not. Of course, having so many items on my can't eat list is a bummer. I have been getting infections due to my naturally high blood sugar even though I am not diabetic. I exercise a lot and do many of healthy things but eat too many starches because they are relatively cheap, easy to prepare and tasty. I like vegetables, fruit and meat but don't eat as much of them. But that has to change. I will go online and see if I can find some recipes / cookbooks.
