Lactaid Original Strength Lactase Enzyme Supplement, Caplets - 120 ea

works well..for my lactose intolerant family member

Relief from gastric pressure.

These are good if you follow the instructions on how to take them, but the only downside I had was when I used it, it helped but then later I got a crazzzzy migraine. It happened every time I suppressed the milk with this medicine. Would I do it again? No , is it good while out in a hurry somewhere ? Yesss just keep some excedrine on you.

After using the Fast Act successfully for yrs I bought this as I thought it would be more convenient to have a bottle. Immediately I started developing horrible gas and I couldn't figure out why. At first I thought maybe it just wasn't working but then I read the ingredients and saw that it has Manitol. I have always had horrible reactions to sugar alcohols and this product makes me sick.

I have used Lactaid milk for years with no issue and love the product so I decided to try Lactaid caplets. That was a huge mistake. Within 20 minutes of ingesting the caplet I projectile vomited. I had the worst stomach ever and did not get to enjoy any of the food that I was going to eat. I at first thought that this was a result of a virus so I again tried the caplets a week later with the same result. Within 20 minutes I became violently ill. I will not be trying this product again.

Very disappointing to read the small print and see that the "original strength" caplets have a recommended serving of three tablets. They look EXACTLY the same as the fast acting caplets, but only one third the strength. That seems duplicitous to me - as does anything that requires studying of the small print!!!

I can not use this product because of the added inactive ingredient, artificial sweetener Mannitol. It causes me to have worse symptoms of gas, diarrhea, and bloating. I can, however, enjoy Lactaid ice cream products because they do not contain any added artificial sweeteners.

I purchased this product and it didn't help me at all. After eating pizza I had extreme cramps and diarrhea. After the 3rd time it didn't work I threw them out. The caplets work for me as do the chewable. The Original Strength did not work and I took the full dose 3 caplets. Not recommended from me. The other products work great.

I was getting more GI upset after taking Lactaid, then noticed that Mannitol was one of the ingredients. Sugar Alcohols are known to be a huge trigger for those of us with GI issues. Surely this product could be make without it. I'm very disappointed.

The adding of mannitol to this product causes loose bowels in many people who are allergic to artificial sweetners. Had to stop taking it altogether. The company who makes this product needs to re-evaluate their product. The fast acting product has an additive in it that contains a form of iodine. Again many people are allergic to this. Please re-evaluate the ingredients in your product.
