Why some people can eat dairy, and others REALLY can't (PODCAST E36)

[hkandms]

I'm German English and native I'm completely lactose intolerant unless I'm pregnant. With both my kids the second I got pregnant my body made lactase again. Crazy stuff

[shreshthmohan]

I am a lactose intolerant north-Indian and I strongly feel the urge to translate this episode to Hindi and send it to all my relatives who constantly try to “fix” my “condition”.

[kristinretallack]

This is the first time I have heard someone explain congenital lactase deficiency. My daughter had CLD, it took months for us to figure out what was wrong with her. I had to take her off breast milk and give her a special formula. And I've been trying to explain her rare form of lactose intolerance for the last 31 years! Most people have never heard of it. So thank you for including this very rare condition in your video.

I went through a “bout” of lactose intolerance in college. At the time I thought it was just my lactase going away now that I was fully entering adulthood, but these days I blame it on the fact that I had to take multiple courses of antibiotics and steroids for a peritonsilar abscess that eventually had to be removed surgically. I think my microbiome was off.

Studied biology when I was in college (recently graduated). After a few projects that happened to be about milk and lactose at the start my education it ended up being a conscious effort to make at least one milk/lactose project a semester ranging from evolutionary, genetic, taxonomy, and microbio perspectives. I only mention this because my first fall/winter season outside of school still has me consuming information about lactose and it's a bit surreal. At a time that I would have been preparing to present or turn in such an assignment no less.

"Why some people cant drink milk?"

"Skill issue"

[CSTEnjoyer]

Covid cured me of my lactose intolerance. 2 weeks of constant diarrhea and some probiotics but after that I could eat milk products again. Thank you covid, very cool

OhDamn! My apologies to anyone who tried to order a lactose-free meal at The Montague Inn (Saginaw MI) in the 1990s. Chef was trying his hand at making cheese & I used his whey as the liquid in A LOT of the bread. In my defense, it made really good bread!

It feels like yesterday you started this whole podcast thing. Now it's on episode 36.

I love these. You can tell you worked in radio, because you have that really specific inflection of "radio talk host" and it makes putting this on in the background so much easier because that kind of inflection is so different from the Call of Duty or Overwatch announcers or the HADES dialogue or other YouTuber voices that so commonly become homogenous with video game voice-over work.

[eibyod]

In Scandinavia we reduce the whey from cheese making to a thick consistency and call it "mesost" (Sweden) or "brunost" (Norway). That "cheese" ("ost" means "cheese") is very sweet from all the lactose, and is a lactose bomb 😄

[edgyzero]

Would extremely love to see you do a video on homeade yogurt. I got interested in it recently and was surprised by how simple the process was and tried it out. The yogurt turned out fine all though a little syrupy and I'd love to see you potentially try changing different variables in the process to see what outcomes you get.

Adam liking uniform thickness in his cookies defies every thing iv learnt about heterogeneity

Great info! Thanks for posting about lactate persistence. Most of the world can’t digest lactose into adulthood, but restaurants in the US are wild about adding butter into EVERYTHING.
Dear Lord, it makes so many people sick.
Restaurants: If you don’t want a nasty mess in your restrooms, don’t dump dairy into every damn thing you serve in your kitchen. Thank you!

[willdwyer]

I had a childhood allergy to dairy products that I outgrew. My reaction was respiratory and it landed me in the hospital several times with pneumonia and enough congestion to require the surgical insertion of drainage tubes through my eardrums before they correctly diagnosed it. For a little while they thought I had cystic fibrosis.

[sarahdriedger]

I found it really interesting to learn that "lactose-free" milk actually just has lactase added to it to help our bodies digest the lactose. And you can buy lactase supplements at the store.

[GiveZeeAChance]

Ah yes, the Gallic side of the family vs. the Garlic side of the family

[megisawesome]

This podcast made me realise I have lactose intolerance for the last five years. And I change from drinking from cows milk to soymilk and I don’t get those pains in my stomach any more. So thank you so much.

[ScottSherman]

My 23 year old son is lactose intolerant his whole life so far. I am turning 65 in 6 weeks. I still have milk on cereal, eat cheese and ice cream and have NEVER had an issue. Neither does my other two children (26 and 29) or my wife. Thanks for this video!

[Rigeth]

I thought I was lactose intolerant through most of my childhood and adult life. I figured out about 3 years ago that I'm just sensative to both Lactose and Gluten, I can eat one or the other; never both the same day.

[marcusaurelius]

I've always loved drinking milk, but now that I'm 19 and I only recently discovered what lactose intolerance is, I seem to be getting some lactose intolerance symptoms if I'm extremely conscious about them after drinking milk, but when I drink milk and forget just about it then everything is okay, no discomfort. Strange.
