My new reality

[u/Reasonable--Care]

I have IBS and therefore have to severly limit my diet. Mind you half the stuff on this list is food I really enjoy eating, or is virtually included in everything 🙃 the universe said you WILL eat that boiled chicken and rice and you WILL LIKE IT

Unfortunately not. It's not lactose intolerance, even lactose free milk has an effect on me. Believe me if I could just get over it I would, but it's been years of it at this point that I just realized it wasn't worth fighting it. Cutting it out completely is easier.

Just wanted to say sorry you have to deal with this. It truly sucks. Probably more than mildly infuriating.

My social circle and my culture so intertwined with food, i just cant imagine what I'd do if i stop sining out with friends or stop eating what my family usually prepares and always have to cook myself the same food. Both logistics and social nightmare to me.

My prayers to scientists and doctors to create a magic pill for this.

You mean you don’t want to become best friends with your toilet on an hourly basis? That’s crazy!

Seriously though this sucks. A friend of mine has IBS and he basically eats grilled chicken and broccoli every day for dinner. He was a foodie before and now it’s just sad. I feel for him and you OP.

Have you tried A2 Milk/Dairy? I am really lactose intolerant, and I can drink the whole milk version of it, it honestly helps almost all of my GI issues. Just a thought, figured if you can at least dodge 1 bullet it is a win!

Sounds like OP has an issue with casein.
