Alas, lactose intolerant people have ALL the flora necessary to digest and thrive on dairy products ~ and that's the problem right there. Their own digestive systems leave lactase (milk sugar) untouched as it moves into the large intestine and those friendly flora and fauna DINE WELL and produce vast quantities of hydrogen gas!

One variation found frequently in Korean people has the problem start right at the pyloric valve, so they can eat a cheese burger, wait 20 minutes, and then engage in 30 and 40 foot projectile vomiting!

It's difficult to deal with the upper GI problem with just lactase pills ~ better for them to just become very paranoic about traditional American foods and not eat anything with dairy products in them ~ which can include balogna, frozen hamburger patties, most candy bars....

Can something like Bean-O help deal with the gas created? I thought most of our gas was a methane-type, not hydrogen.
