Gee, I thought it was only me ... :) I have that problem with regular
lactaid pills also if I take them as a precautionary measure when
I'm not sure if there is any dairy in the meal (restaurants usually) and
there turns out not to be. That is one reason I gave up dairy in general.
It was just too hard to balance the dosage of lactaid and the ingested
dairy to avoid this particular side effect.

Lactaid, by the way, denies any knowledge of this side effect. I called
them a couple of years ago and asked.

On a shelf.

I was a lurker also but there is just too much good info on this list
and it is really helpful to share experiences. I spent way too much time
suffering in ignorance for too many years to stand by and see anyone else
do it if I can help.
