Update on the Lactose



Thanks for letting me know I was not the only little thief lol and for all for your suggestions for the Lactose intolerance issue. I decided that the best solution would be to find a drug to help digest the milk so I got Lactrase!

The Pharmacy Lady must think I'm some sort of drug junkie. I like going into pharmacies just to see what they have available. Everything is just so colourful and they might have a solution to a problem I never knew I had. Same as the isle in supermarkets where they have all the grooming stuff like lotions etc. Its like curiosity heaven. Only problem here is that all the information is written in Swedish. So I have to play a guessing game with the pictures on the box.

Anyway so the first time I had to ask her for a laxative of some sort. Sorry for TMI but I got to Sweden and suddenly my digestive system shut down. I was giving it time to resolve itself but I got tired of waiting...I mean it was getting to like 3 weeks. Jeez, that’s a serious backlog. I didn't want cancer of the intestines! So anyway she brought it out all the while looking at me suspiciously. I was wondering what she was not saying...she went to get it, she stole a glance at me, then she took it to the machine, glanced again, then keyed it in, and finally glared at me....YOU SHOULDN'T USE THIS ALL THE TIME!

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT? She thinks i'm some bulimic person or what. Eat then drink a couple of ducolaxes. Ducolax cocktails....hmm. I assured her that I would use the drugs sparingly.

Day 2: Ducolax worked but I had milk and developed yet another bad case of uncomfortable bloatedness. I had nothing else but cereal and came to accept that my body doesn't really like milk because I get the same reaction on milk days. So I walk into the pharmacy. I mean does it really have to be the same lady at the counter? I walk up to her after looking around the place for a second time looking for Tums or something. I realise all the drugs, even panadol are behind the counter. Damn. So I walk up to her and ask for something for bloatedness and she's better this time. Maybe you can't do much damage with that. She got me something called Miniform. I can't read the box so I have no idea.

Day 3: Forgot about the Lactose issue so stroll into the pharmacy...AND ITS MY LONG LOST FRIEND at the counter again. I grin at her and walk straight up to her. Afterall I'm paying. "What do you want today". Chei, I have suffered. Anyway I ask for something to digest lactose and voila, I get Lactrase. So that’s the whole story.

Today, I am bloat free.

To some of the questions from the last post....Idemili and other Soya milk lovers, I will still try it one more time. Soul, I have many Swedish guys for you oh. Just take a short trip down. Niajaboke I have watched the end of Pirates on youtube, thanks! Tayo, thanks, I'll look keep and eye out for TAYO Milk lol.
