Comment on Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cows

  Certain cheese (mainly hard cheese) is theoretically zero lactose due to fermentation using it up, but I find that even most hard cheeses give me a reaction.

  I have a history of psychosomatic reactions to food, though. For example I couldn’t eat beef, chicken, or pork for years after several food poisoning incidents in quick succession. Even though I knew the reaction was all in my head, the physical effects still happened. Super frustrating.

  However I have had 2 incidents where I had GI symptoms occur after eating something containing dairy where I didn’t know until I looked at the ingredients list, so I know it’s not 100% in my head.

  To my fellow LI sufferers I encourage you to experiment with hard cheeses, as there’s plenty of people who have documented their success with those! :)

  (Just do it on a day where you have a bathroom always available, lol.)

    I’m not talking about hard cheese but cheese that specifically says “lactose free” in the packaging

      Never actually seen any besides the cream cheese at Trader Joe’s. Going to keep an eye out now
