Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Do y'all not know about enzyme pills for lactose intolerance?

Honestly? I can't afford to spend $30 so I spent 30 minutes on toilet.

We buy boxes of the generic tablets from Costco, they're $20 for 180 tablets, or 11¢/ea.

Do your friends and family a favor and buy some, they have to smell you all day after dairy.

I don't have access to a Costco and I don't have family or friends. I'm also nosedeaf to myself. Doesn't make much difference.

Closer to $30 for 80 doses. And that's your name-brand stuff.

In America. I am not American. A bottle of 30 Lactaid here is around $27.

Here's the most expensive version of lactaid I could find on Amazon. $0.30 a dose

Where I live? Yeah. It's a problem

You do know lactose blocks tryptophan absorption, thus leaving your body without serotonin precursors right?

Unfortunately those don't work for everyone.

Yeah I'm pretty sure my lactose intolerance is just my mild whey allergy in disguise so unfortunately that's the boat I fall in. People ask fewer questions about lactose intolerance though so that's what I'll continue to tell people.

We do, but why pay for a colonic irrigation cleaning when you get a free one after having icecream for dessert.
