Acidophilus for Lactose Intolerance

A few years ago, I didn't know that Acidophilus could work for lactose intolerance. My husband got a terrible stomach ache from milk, ice cream, cheese, and other dairy products. We went to the drug store and bought Lactase Enzyme and it was expensive. I don't remember if it was the brand name Lactaid or some generic, but it was costly and cumbersome because he had to take it with every meal that had dairy in it. 

Then we learned that acidophilus can also be used to treat lactose intolerance.  Now, he takes a probiotic pill every day that contains acidophilus.  The pill lasts a whole 24 hours (and possibly longer), so it's a lot easier to just take it with other supplements and forget about it.  Now he can eat whatever he wants. 

I don't know if this works for everyone who has lactose intolerance, but it's certainly worth a try.  I take a probiotic supplements every day for a different reason: to prevent yeast infections. It also has other benefits....  having to do with "being regular."

He takes Healthy Origins Probiotic but there are many brands and formulas to choose from.
