Lactaid Fast Act Lactase Enzyme Supplements, 72 Count

For my lactose intolerance, it is a great product to give me protection at a restaurant before a meal. I carry a few packs inside my wallet while I'm out. If I should stop at a fast food place or eat on the go, food containing milk products won't do harm to my stomach.

I will be one to admit I did not believe this would do anything to help my issues. Although my mom and sister encouraged me to try this product I was still hesitant because of my history with dairy. It has been several years since I've had milk and ice cream while minimizing my intake with other dairy products (cheese...etc) because I was literally afraid of the consequences I would face later. I am happy I tried this product, I was so scared leading to my big day ( I know it sounds crazy to you but this was an event in my home) my husband was nervous because hes my masseur when things get UGLY. if you suffer like myself I would truly advise you to give this product a try, what more can you lose? Look at me I lost several years of good strawberry, chocolate and vanilla don't let this be you!

I've had IBS for over 20 yrs and a couple of yrs ago was told had giuten intolerance but some of the symptoms like bloating and gas was still there then found out that I had lactose intolerance but did not know what to do. A couple of years ago a family member told me about Lactaid and I thought it would not work but I was getting so uncomfortable that I decided to try Lactaid started with one, then started two believe it or not I have to take three to feel good. It is not completely gone but it is extremely manageable and I won't go without it.

Within 5-10 mins of taking this, my stomach wasn't feeling well. I started to get severe stomach pain and felt very nauseous. Soon after, I started vomiting. I still feel nauseas and still have bad stomach pain. I do not recommend this!

I don't know if it's just the Fast Act lactaid or what, but every single time I take one, I get severe upper stomach pains, like doubled over ready to cry pain... And really really bad nausea. Not sure why. But I'm done with these. I'd rather have the diarrhea.

Have used twice, and both times within half an hour I go from feeling fine to severe stomach pain and vomiting. Fortunately, after it's all vomited up, I feel pretty normal again. That's not exactly the way I hoped to avoid lactose intolerance, as just not eating milk products to begin with is much less painful. The one and ONLY reason I would use these pills is if syrup of ipecac is not available, and I need to vomit. It's a sure thing for me (and apparently many others), and this might actually work quicker! Not having a warning label on this product is truly inviting a class action situation. You guys are WELL AWARE of this problem by now.

I took this one time and was fine, the two next times I took this i vomited like others within 30 minutes of taking this product. Why this is not. Listed side effect of taking it.

There are no directions printed on the box for the Lactaid Fast Act Caplets nor on the individual caplet packets as to how you should take this. For example it does not say if these should be swallowed or chewed.

I bought this 2 days ago and took 2 tabs around 4p to have with ice cream. I woke the next morning with a splitting headache, dry mouth/swollen salivary duct under the tongue, severe nausea and vomiting (dry heaving). The headache and nausea/vomiting were so severe I couldn't not keep down water nor sit or stand. I had to miss work and “doze” all day bc of the pain and discomfort. Able to drink sips of water that night. Next morning feeling generally unwell but able to keep down water, broth, rice crackers etc. Product not recommended. Take with extreme caution.

I was diagnosed lactose intolerant in 2001 and primarily dealt with the symptoms for years. A doctor recommended Lactaid oral supplements as a solution. The first two uses were successful, but on the third use, I experienced severe abdominal pain and nausea. I did not originally attribute this to using Lactaid, so I used the product again three days later. The abdominal pain was crippling and I vomited several times. I experienced dizziness as well. When I confronted my doctor about this, she told me that some other people have the same issue and that I should discontinue use. I have not used the product since and the symptoms have not returned.
