I’m currently going through a minor identity crisis after, like, two weeks ago, at the age of 23, realizing I’m lactose intolerant. I drank some hot chocolate, got a really bad stomach ache, and thought to myself “it’s nothing, I always get a stomach ache after drinking hot chocolate”, remembered I got a stomach ache after eating ice cream two days before and then realized…maybe getting a stomach ache every time you drink hot chocolate (regardless of how little) isn’t…normal. it’s been like that for at least half a year, up to like 2-3 years… I guess I should’ve expected this since my stomach is super sensitive and my dad is lactose intolerant and also Thai (84-96% of Thai people are lactose intolerant depending on which study you look at) … at least lactase enzyme pills seem to work for me so I won’t need to give up ice cream lmao

#t says #but…that feels like an odd discovery to make now all of a sudden #covid may have made it worse though…is there anything covid doesn’t fuck up #I also wondered if I may be lactose intolerant like 2 years ago when I was investigating everything wrong with my stomach (I still have no #clue)#but thought I wasn’t since I eat ice cream with what I felt was no problem #since most foods give me minor stomach aches anyway I didn’t think it was noteworthy #lol #random post sorry #I now realize that stuff like me wanting to eat cheese bc I like the taste but generally avoiding it bc I get stomach aches #is probably also related to this #my mom is Swedish and not lactose intolerant #it’s the norm here only 7% of the Swedish adult population is #I grew up drinking milk with everything.until I was 14 I had milk with every meal (then it started making my acid reflux worse)#so I didn’t expect this at all 🥲
