I lack the gene that produces lactase, so I have always been and always will be completely lactose intolerant.

Maybe the solution for you is lactase as a food additive...

You can get lactase tablets (which I'd thought the reference was to) that are meant to be eaten when you have dairy and apparently it magically breaks all the lactose down. But people use it as an excuse to overindulge on creamy, buttery dairy packed stuff and wonder why it hasn't worked.

Don't pay attention to that man behind the curtain!
